Since the release he has played support to Hermitage Green (Roisin Dubh), The Stunning (Dolan’s Warehouse), Paddy Casey (Garbo’s) and Mundy (UCH) as well as packing out a show of his own in the iconic Whelan’s.

Mayo singer songwriter Conor Ward has been capturing audiences around Ireland with his unique voice and storytelling
Conor released his latest single, “Hope”, in August. The track is about mental health and anxiety but ultimately about overcoming adversity and finding hope. The result is a poignant yet infectiously catchy folk pop song. It has been well received earning radio play on Today FM, 4FM, iRadio, MidWest Radio and Spin SouthWest amongst others.
It was also described as “gorgeous” by Hot Press magazine as well as being named Joe’s Song of the Day. To coincide with the release, Ward played three headline shows (Whelan’s, Dolan’s and Garbo’s) in October with all the proceeds going to Limerick Suicide Watch and Pieta House.
