TJ Sweeney
Kildare Derby Festival have just announced that Kildare town local singer TJ Sweeney who performs under the name Tee Jay will be the support act for the Blizzards this Saturday.
It’s a busy time for the 21-year-old singer songwriter. It was only recently announced that he will be the support act in Ryan McMullan’s upcoming UK and Ireland tour.
Music has always been a passion for Sweeney who has been writing and playing from a young age. Sweeney has big plans as he said, “one of the biggest goals of mine is to bring an open-air concert to the Round Towers pitch in Kildare Town, it’s never been done, it absolutely will not be easy, but with lots of sacrifice and hard work I think it’s possible!”
For the moment, Sweeney is delighted to get the opportunity to play in front of a home crowd before he heads away on tour.
Rockshore presents the Blizzards this Saturday June 25 from 7:30pm which is part of this year’s Kildare Derby Festival which takes place from June 18th until June 26th with over 15 free and ticketed events along with 3 race days at the Curragh
Racecourse.
