A night of music, dance and fun. The interactive experience had the audience up dancing. The show featured local musicians and singers and a ceilidh dance or four.

Review:

This show took us from Bantry Bay to Derry quay, from Galway to Dublin town, via Garboldisham village hall.

Fresh from depicting the Communist party in Diss Museum’s History of Politics parade, the group unleashed their musical talents.

Led by their resident Irishman Cathal Prendergast, they presented a whooping evening of traditional and modern numbers, with ceilidh dancing by the audience.

So we had well-known classics like The Wild Rover but also songs associated with U2, Christy Moore, Ed Sheeran, The Cranberries and The Chicks. I knew half a dozen of the 18 songs.

A quiet start, as if in an Irish pub, grew into a stage full of singers belting out The Fields of Athenry. No passengers here.

Roy Preston’s gravelly Whiskey In the Jar rivalled The Dubliners, followed by a lickety-split Star of the County Down by ‘Lewis and Harry’.

Four times the audience were invited to dance and surged onto the floor to reel and strip the willow.

Solos and duets galore, each as good as the last, provided an Irish evening to remember.

It was lusty, romantic, sentimental, with both joy and a kind of positive melancholy, without the shadow of the gunmen.
