All New Show

Whilst staying true to the wonderful heritage of the original show that started it all, we have raised the production values of our show by introducing professional lighting elements and the talents of a professional sound engineer. Our dancers also now play an even more prominent role throughout the show, and regularly volunteer members of the audience to join them on stage for some of the dances. All of which combines to make what was the best traditional Irish show even better. We invite you to come and see for yourself why we are the original and still the best night of Authentic Irish Entertainment.
