Drawing from the rich anthology of Irish music and the traditions it has inspired, this show is a vibrant journey through the songs that define us: songs of love and heartache, emigration and longing, resilience and rebellion, and the timeless beauty of Ireland’s landscapes. The ensemble breathes new life into cherished old ballads while giving fresh, traditional treatments to beloved classics.

A special highlight of the evening will see Sharon, Mundy, and Steve Earle come together on stage to perform the world-famous ‘Galway Girl’—a rare moment uniting the artists who each helped make the song a global sensation.

Joining Sharon on stage will be an exceptional line-up of musicians, including Alan Connor, Richie Buckley, and Gerry O’Connor, who each bring their own artistry to create a performance that is intimate and unforgettable. Together, they blend the spirit of traditional Irish music with contemporary creativity, honouring the legacy of our song tradition with power and grace.

This is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of who we are as a people, and an invitation to experience the deep emotional resonance of Ireland’s music. From the poignant strains of our ballads to the raucous joy of our reels and jigs, this show will stir your soul, lift your spirits, and maybe even bring a tear to your eye.

Join The Sharon Shannon Big Band and Guests for an unforgettable evening that bridges past and present, capturing the very heart of Irish life and culture.
