Tullamore's Dave Lawlor will hold a hometown gig on May 6th.

An Offaly singer is marking 50 years in music, after he quit his goverment job and put 'all cards on the table'. 

Tullamore's Dave Lawlor rose to fame with his 1991 hit 'Nostalgia Time', and he stars in the 'Reeling In The Showband Years' tour.

The musician is celebrating the milestone with a special anniversary show in Tullamore on May 6.
