Bagatelle will celebrate lead singer Liam Reilly with a special performance in the National Opera House Wexford on 6 January 2024.

They will be joined on the night by special guests Donna Marie Sludd and Shane McDonald.

Originally from Dundalk, Liam Reilly formed Bagatelle, along with Wally McConville, in August 1978. Bassist Ken Doyle and guitarist John O'Brien joined the group and the four-piece quickly emerged as one of Ireland’s brightest pop talents.

The group achieved several No.1 Singles with songs like ‘Summer in Dublin’, ‘Second Violin’ and ‘Trump Card’.

They also have enjoyed multi-platinum and gold album sales with emigration-themed songs like ‘Streets of New York’, ‘Flight of the Earls’ and ‘Boston Rose’, all written by late frontman Reilly.

Following the death of Bagatelle singer on January 1, 2021, TG4 aired a documentary titled Bagatelle - Ómos do Liam Reilly, first aired New Years Eve 2021, a year after his untimely passing.

The remaining members of the band then decided to go back on the road to celebrate the life of Liam Reilly, his music and the Bagatelle Legacy.

Tickets start from €31.50 and are available via www.nationaloperahouse.ie
