The Saw Doctors

Celebrating 35 years on the road, acclaimed Irish rock band The Saw Doctors will headline a major London show at Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith on Saturday November 8th, 2025.

Back in 1990, The Saw Doctors’ debut single ‘I Useta Lover’ climbed to No.1 in the Irish charts, staying a record nine weeks at Number 1 and going on to become the biggest selling Irish single.

The Saw Doctors 2025 tour kicks off on May 27 in Inverurie in the Scottish Highlands with stops along the way in Berlin, Birmingham, Isle of Wight Festival, New York’s Central Park and the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.

Led by songwriting duo, Davy Carton (lead vocals) and Leo Moran (electric guitar), The Saw Doctors have recently welcomed back one of their founding band members Pearse Doherty on bass guitar, vocals, penny whistle and wooden flute. The eight man lineup features longtime members Rickie O’Neill (drums), Kieran Duddy (keyboards and accordion) and Tommy Carton (backing vocals) as well as acclaimed sidemen, Anthony Thistlethwaite (saxophone, formerly of The Waterboys) and Noelie McDonnell (guitar and backing vocals of The Whileaways).
