Tony Christie Fundraising Concert
Tony Christie, the legendary singer, musician and actor is set to pay a nostalgic, emotional and memorable visit to the town of his forefathers with a special 'Farewell to Amarillo' Tour Concert finale at Claremorris Town Hall Theatre on Friday, 21st November 2025. This will be a fundraiser in aid of the project. And his only show outside Dublin.
This is more than just a concert, it's a celebration of over 50 years of music, memories and moments that defined generations.
Best known for a number of big hit songs such as '(Is this the way to) Amarillo', 'I did what I did for Maria' and 'Avenues & Alleyways' from the 1970s, Tony is proud of his Mayo roots. He continues to record and perform and is regularly on tour across Britain and Europe. Tony's entertainment company is called Mayo Music Ltd, and managed by his son Sean.
Ticket prices are from €45 (standard) to €100 (premium) plus booking fees, with doors open from 7pm, and the concert starting at 8pm.
Premium ticket purchasers will enjoy a VIP package, including a special 'Meet & Greet' session with Tony after the Friday night show, front row seats at the concert, as well as a special gift bag with signed memorabilia. Tony and family members look forward to meeting each premium ticket holder – his ultimate fans.
Doors: 7.00pm | Show: 8.00pm | Full Bar
