Meet the Irish Guitar Makers Behind Niall Horan's Signature Sound
by Conor Finn · SPIN South WestAs excitement builds around Horan's homecoming, Three Ireland is giving one lucky fan the chance to take home an exclusive Lowden guitar, celebrating the craftsmanship, Irishness and musical connection behind his journey. On the night of 10 November, fans will have to put their musical skills to the test to have a chance to take home a handcrafted Lowden guitar.
Bringing together Irish music, craftsmanship and global success, the partnership celebrates the connection between Niall Horan’s Irish roots and his journey to international stardom.
Niall Horan's musical journey has always had a strong connection to home. Among those connections is his long-standing relationship with Lowden Guitars, the renowned Northern Irish guitar makers whose handcrafted instruments have been part of the Mullingar star's musical story for years.
Founded in 1974 by George Lowden, Lowden Guitars has championed Irish craftsmanship for over five decades. Horan's custom Lowden guitars have accompanied him throughout his solo career, bringing together two Irish success stories making their mark on the global stage.

Commenting on the partnership, George Lowden, founder of Lowden Guitars, said:
“Making guitars has always been about creating something that inspires people to make music. Every guitar is shaped by the materials we work with, the care that goes into making it and, ultimately, the person who plays it. There is something very special about seeing Irish artists take their music out into the world and connect with audiences everywhere. Niall’s journey is a great example of that.”
At the heart of the giveaway is a Lowden Original Series F-32, a handcrafted acoustic guitar that showcases the brand’s commitment to quality materials, exceptional craftsmanship and rich, resonant sound. The model reflects the style of guitar in Niall’s own musical collection, adding a personal connection to the partnership.
Fans eagerly queuing outside 3Arena on the night will have to keep their eyes peeled for one of the Three brand ambassadors with the exclusive guitar to have the chance to show off their musical skills, prove they can play and potentially take it home.
Further details on how to take part will be shared ahead of the show on Three’s social media.
Through its continued commitment to bringing fans closer to the music they love, Three Ireland is marking this special homecoming with a celebration of Irish music, creativity and the incredible talent Ireland continues to share with the world.
