A FEAST OF IRISH



(Dave Monks)

Celebrate an Early St Patrick’s Day presented by The Rhumbelow Theatre taking place at the Allan Wilson Shellhole, 5 Durban Rd Pietermaritzburg
Presents

South Africa’s own Irish multi-instrumentalist Dave Monks presents an enjoyable time-warp, transporting you to the towns, rivers and valleys of Ireland. His proven repertoire of esteemed Irish classics mixed with a touch of Blarney in his treasury of tales and humour, are always sure to get hands clapping.

Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland gives Monks more than a stamp of originality and authenticity to his Irish melodies and skillful instrumentals. An Irish show wouldn’t be complete without the good ‘ol faithfuls like Danny Boy, Galway Bay, Whiskey in the Jar, Paddy Mc Ginty’s Goat to name a few.

However, A Feast of Irish will also introduce a whole new generation of Irish favourites. The folkish feel of this music is enhanced by Monks’ mastery of the banjo, guitar, harmonica, tin whistles and vocals.

Performances take place on March 13 at 14h00 and 18h30. (Venue opens 90 minutes before show for picnic dinner). Remember to wear something green!!! Tickets R140 (R120 tables of 8 or more and pensioners). Bring food picnic baskets and a bar is available (no alcohol may not be brought on to the premises). There is limited secure parking.
