TICKETS

Introduced to the guitar at thirteen, O’Rourke first tried songwriting in his mid-teens whilst living in Australia. At twenty-four, he returned to his country of birth, Ireland, and found himself in the middle of an explosive scene that proved a fertile breeding ground for him and his contemporaries. Five of O’Rourke’s seven studio albums to date have enjoyed top 5 status in the National Irish charts. Though equally gifted as a writer, singer, and musician, from the outset O’Rourke’s reputation has been that of a songwriter’s songwriter for Christy Moore, Camille O’Sullivan, Josh Groban, Eddi Reader, Paul Weller, Peter Joback, and Imelda May, who have recorded O’Rourke’s songs, among others.
