Celebrating its 25th anniversary\, this annual Christmas tour has been complemented by four acclaimed holiday albums: “On Christmas Night\,” “A Star in the East\,” “Christmas in Ireland\,” and “Christmas Live from County Clare.” \nThe concert features an outstanding lineup of musicians\, including Joanie Madden on flute\, whistles\, and vocals; Mary Coogan on guitar and mandolin; Mirella Murray on accordion; Nollaig Casey on fiddle; Gabriel Donohue on piano; and lead vocals and guitar by Kate Purcell\, Don Stiffe\, and Bruce Foley. \nAdding to the magic\, extraordinary step dancers elevate the performance with their athleticism and artistry.

We’re a costly group; we break many rules; it’s unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme\, my dear.” \nLaser Show\nShow runtime is approximately 46 minutes\nGet Tickets \nClick here for the Laser Queen Trailer \nThis show may contain flashing lights or rapidly changing imagery\, affecting photosensitive viewers.
