(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!!!
