The renowned Irish music and dance show, The Irish House Party, is set to embark on an exciting tour across the United Kingdom in May 2024, performing at Paignton Palace Theatre on Tuesday, May 21. This captivating show transports audiences to the heart of Ireland, offering a unique blend of traditional Irish music, dance, and comedy. From the lightning-fast footwork of the dancers to the infectious energy and humor of the musicians, the show promises a highly entertaining evening from start to finish.
"We are really excited to bring The Irish House Party to audiences across the UK," says Declan Quinn, one of the show’s co-founders. "In fact, the origins of a traditional Irish house party have very strong connections with the UK. It was originally associated with people emigrating from Ireland to the UK, Canada, America, and Australia. These leaving parties were often referred to as ‘wakes’ because it would be years before many of these people would return to Ireland if ever."
"Our mission is to share the magic of Irish music, dance, and humor in an immersive show, and we can't wait to connect with audiences in cities and towns throughout the UK."
This initial tour will feature performances in South Wales, the Midlands, and the South Coast of England with each show offering a unique glimpse into traditional Irish music and dance the way it is in Ireland today. Tickets for The Irish House Party UK tour are now available for purchase, with early booking recommended to secure seats. Don't miss your chance to experience the magic of Ireland's premier cultural showcase live on stage.
