A FEAST OF IRISH



(Dave Monks)

South Africa’s very own Irish multi-instrumentalist Dave Monks presents an evening of time-warp, transporting audiences to the towns, rivers and valleys of Ireland with A Feast of Irish which will have two performances at Rhumbelow Theatre on March 27.

Monk’s 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 him 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 faithful like Danny Boy, Galway Bay, Whiskey in the jar, Paddy Mc Ginty’s Goat to name a few but A Feast of Irish will also introduce audiences to a whole new generation of Irish favourites. The folkish feel of this music is enhanced by Monk’s mastery of the banjo, guitar, harmonica, tin whistles and vocals.

“It takes an Irish man to sing an Irish song but it takes an Irish singer to make you sing a long”.  So join Dave Monks for what is sure to be a rousing and exciting evening of nostalgic, sing-a-long fun.

Remember to wear something green!!!
