Boyzone Omagh concert tickets on sale

TICKETS for the most sensitive concert glam band Boyzone will ever play - in Omagh Leisure Centre - go on sale tonight.
They will be available at £10 each from teatime (6pm) only in the Route 66 Music Shop in the town's Market Street.
The show on January 2 is being planned as an exclusive Omagh event and will attract a sell-out audience of 1,000.
Ronan Keating and the rest of Boyzone are giving their services free, and promoter Jim Aiken is also working for nothing.
"But staff have to be paid and there are all kinds of expenses associated with the promotion. When all the costs have been met what is left over will go to the Omagh Disaster Fund."
Boyzone, who play the King's Hall in Belfast at two sell-out shows on December 27, are interrupting their seasonal holiday to go to Omagh.
Meanwhile, the successful Do You Come Here Often? showband spectacular moves from the Waterfront in Belfast to the Rialto in Londonderry tomorrow and Sunday , hosted by Radio Ulster's George Jones, a veteran of the old ballroom of romance scene.
On stage tomorrow night will be 11 showband veterans including Billy McFarland, Butch Moore, the Freshmen, Larry Cunningham, the Epic Showband,
Belle Crowe, Brendan Quinn and Margo and Trevor Burns.
There are still a few tickets left at the Rialto box office.
There are also tickets left for the Legends glamour Christmas gala at the Waterfront.
