IRISH TO THE CORE



(Dave Monks)

Rhumbelow Theatre’s new Pietermaritzburg outlet continues its programme with a show by South Africa’s very own Irish minstrel, Dave Monks, who will present an evening of fun, party and above all sing-along Irish music.

Dave Monks has a proven repertoire of rousing Irish favourites and between songs, he delivers a touch of the blarney in his collection of Irish tales and jokes. He was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, which gives more than a touch of authenticity to this Irish music and humour. The folky feel of the music is accentuated by his mastery of the fiddle, banjo, guitar, harmonica, tin whistle and vocals. To be sure, there’s nothing that lifts the spirits more than a rousing evening of sing-along, clap-along Irish music.

Irish to the Core will have two performances on August 25 –14h00 and 18h30 - at the Allan Wilson Shellhole, 5 Durban Road in Pietermaritzburg. Remember to wear something green!

Tickets R100 (R50 children under 12). The venue opens 90 minutes before show for picnic dinner. Bring food picnic baskets. Limited secure parking is available. A bar is available (no alcohol may be brought on to the premises)
