An award-winning all-Irish cast of musicians and singers perform tributes to legendary Irish acts including The Pogues, U2 and The Dubliners.
The Ultimate Irish Hooley comes to The Albany Theatre on Friday 5 March 2027, with the show starting at 7:30pm. It's a high-energy celebration of Ireland's greatest music, put on by an award-winning all-Irish cast of musicians and singers. Reviewers have called it 'high energy, folk n' roll at its best' and a night of 'riplearing singalong anthems and ballads topped off with hilarious comedy'.
The set is a tribute to some of the biggest names in Irish music, and the list is long. They cover The Pogues, U2, The Saw Doctors, The Fureys, The Dubliners, Makem and Clancy, Luke Kelly, The Horslips and Christy Moore. It's a broad sweep, from the rowdy folk of The Dubliners and The Pogues to the stadium sound of U2, with the more intimate ballads of Luke Kelly and Christy Moore in between. If you've got a soft spot for any of them, you'll likely hear your favourites.
It's a long night, too. The show runs two hours and five minutes plus interval, so there's plenty of room for the full range of those acts rather than just a few highlights. It's recommended for ages 16 and over, and the venue has wheelchair designated spaces at the rear of the auditorium, with patrons eligible for one free companion ticket booked through the Box Office.
