Singer-songwriter Niall McCabe plays the Townhall Arts Centre on Friday, 2 October 2026, one of the autumn season’s headline concert dates at Cavan’s main theatre venue. McCabe’s live shows lean on close, acoustic-led arrangements built around his own songs, a format well suited to the Townhall’s small seated auditorium. The booking sits in a run of concert dates at the venue through September and October 2026, part of a broader autumn programme mixing music, comedy and drama in the same room.
As with other Townhall concert nights, doors open at 6:30pm with the show starting at 8pm sharp. Expect a stripped-back set built around guitar, voice and original songwriting rather than a full band production, in keeping with the venue’s preference for artists whose sound suits an intimate room. The Townhall’s auditorium, a converted nineteenth-century courthouse in the centre of Cavan town, seats a few hundred across stalls and a small balcony, so even the back rows stay close to the stage. Tickets are sold directly through the venue’s own booking system rather than a third-party platform, and the show is listed alongside the venue’s other autumn 2026 concert dates, which include tribute nights and further singer-songwriter bills.
The Townhall Arts Centre is on Townhall Street in Cavan town centre, a short walk from the bus station and the main town-centre car parks on Farnham Street and College Street. Cavan town sits on the Bus Eireann route between Dublin and Enniskillen, with regular daily services stopping close to the venue.
The venue is in the middle of Cavan town, the county town and Ireland’s only medieval Gaelic town still governing its own county, so a night at the Townhall combines easily with food on Main Street beforehand. There is more to explore across Co. Cavan.
