The Black Mills Sessions with Ben Collins

Ben is a singer/songwriter from Templemore with a deep-rooted passion for music that began at an early age. His journey started with his involvement in Scór competitions and school musicals, where he first discovered his love for performing. Over the years, Ben’s musical career has flourished, and he now regularly performs at local venues, concerts, and festivals, including popular events like Hoolie in the Hills and Devil’s Bit Music Festival. As a member of the Thurles Musical Society, Ben continues to grow as both a performer and an artist.

From timeless Irish folk ballads to modern hits, Ben brings a diverse mix of genres to every performance. Whether it’s an intimate pub gig or a grand wedding celebration, Ben’s passion for music thrives. Ben is looking forward to another special night at the Black Mills Sessions!

This event will take place in the stunning setting of the Black Mills. The Black Mills dates from the first half of the 18th century and is located near the 11th century Round Tower and the 12th century Romanesque church. The Black Mills and the surrounding land has been in state care since 1991. When the property came into state care, it was clear that there was an extreme amount of work required if it was to be restored and made accessible to the general public. The acquisition of the property was also seen as an ideal opportunity to protect St Cronan's Cross and to provide interpretive material on the monastic settlement which was located in this part of Roscrea. St Cronan's cross which was located in the church grounds nearby was relocated to the mill to fully protect it for future generations.

The acoustic properties in the mill make this an ideal venue to hold music sessions.

As seating is limited, tickets must be purchased in advance. Doors open at 7.30pm.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience live music at its best. Mark your calendars and bring your friends along for a night you won't forget!

We can't wait to see you there!
