Celtic Legends Tickets

Born in the wild and beautiful hills of Connemara in Ireland back in 2002, Celtic Legends has journeyed around the world from small beginnings.  A show bathed in the traditional culture of music and dance of Ireland can now be seen in every corner of the planet.  The show, with 100% live music, dance and song generates an electric atmosphere that has swept audiences away to Ireland, while respecting the culture and ancient history.

The music is traditional at its core, with all of Ireland’s National instruments, the fiddle driving frenetic reels, our great drum, the bodhran beating out the driving rhythms of the band, the plaintive uilleann pipes calling back to days of yore with beautiful and haunting slow airs.  The musicians are the worlds best, with virtuoso quality and a love for their art unmatched.

The dancers take the stage with brilliant flashes of speed.  All of our dancers have performed from an early age, won many world championships and toured with shows such as Riverdance and Lord of the Dance.  This show however is LIVE.  Their jigs and reels are a joy to watch with many audience member wanting to join in- many actually do!

Irish dance has enjoyed a spectacular revival in recent years with the aforementioned Irish shows, however Celtic Legends recreates the art form stripped to its bare essentials.  By presenting traditional dance, the show has a more vital feel.  The cast members are more creative and dynamic, audiences are more engaged and everyone leaves the show feeling like they have been involved and have more of an insight into what Ireland really is.  Irish dance has blended with other cultures of late—Celtic Legends is not a blend, it is the real thing!

The choreographer, Jacintha Sharpe has a wealth of experience and is indeed revered by dancers worldwide.  After touring with  some of the top shows, Jacintha wanted to create a more essential, vital and exciting style of Irish dance, so she jumped at the chance to join Legends.  She has created traditional pieces that merge perfectly with the live on stage sound that the band creates.  The intricate group numbers are complimented by looser, solo spots which are the hit of the night.

The musical director, Sean McCarthy is widely recognized as one of the best players of the Uilleann Pipe in the world.  Sean has been awarded the All-Ireland Uilleann pipes title on six occasions.  He has performed throughout the world with top dance shows and groups.  Sean has composed a unique, traditional live, spectacular show.
