A live folk and ballad concert that transports you to a magical Christmas Eve in a traditional Irish pub, with songs and stories.
Christmas in Ireland comes to The Alexandra Theatre on Monday 23 November, a live folk and ballad concert from the producers of Seven Drunken Nights. The whole thing is staged as a Christmas Eve gathering inside a traditional Irish pub, where friends spend the evening sharing songs, stories and memories. It's a folk night rather than a play, and the pub setting is the frame for the music.
The set mixes humour with more reflective moments, and the songs are a mix of well-known Christmas tracks and Irish classics. Among the titles mentioned are 'Driving Home For Christmas', 'Dirty Old Town' and 'Fairytale Of New York', alongside traditional Irish ballads. It's a cast of musicians and singers on stage, not a tribute act, and none of the original recording artists associated with the songs are involved.
If you've seen Seven Drunken Nights, you'll recognise the same team behind this one. It's a folk and ballad concert, so the focus is on the singing and the storytelling rather than a scripted plot. The pub setting is the constant throughout the night, with the songs and stories filling in around it.
