The Market Place Theatre Cajun | Bluegrass Club returns featuring the best of bluegrass and Cajun music and food. ‘Wookalily’ will provide the music for the evening – a female led band hailing from all over the North who have gigged extensively throughout Ireland providing a lively unique sound, crafting a flourishing stage presence to be reckoned with and creating a unique and quirky sound that’s all heart.
Their style, sometimes referred to as chillbilly roots, has an old-timey feel with a young-timey appeal. The Cajun Bluegrass Club will take place on Saturday 30th January at 8pm. Tickets are priced £12 or £22 [with supper].
‘A Viennese Strauss Gala’ is now in its 15th year, and back in the UK by popular demand, with a sparkling new anniversary production. Recreating the romance of the Viennese Festive season, reminding you of a bygone age of glamorous soirees and Strauss waltzes, the show features highlights from some of the great Operettas of the Strauss family, Kalman and Lehar; including ‘Die Fledermaus’, ‘The Merry Widow’ and many more. The European Orchestral Ensemble will accompany four Soloists from major Opera companies; including Opera North, English National Opera and D’Oyly Carte. This wonderful production is cleverly staged and choreographed, and authentically costumed, and will appeal to the romantic as much as the music aficionado. This performance will take place on Friday 5th February at 8pm. Tickets are priced £17.50 each.
Scotland’s Ross Ainslie [Radio 2 ‘Musician Of The Year’ Award nominee] and Tyrone-born Jarlath Henderson [BBC ‘Young Musician Of The Year’] first met back in 2003 at the William Kennedy Piping Festival in Armagh. The pair exploded onto the scene with 2009’s stunning debut album, ‘Partners In Crime’. Individually they’re two of the best players around, but together they create a sound built on an astonishing intuition. Their sound bursts with emotion and energy – a fusion of pipes and flutes that pushes the boundaries of what the instruments can achieve. Backed by the hugely talented Ali Hutton [guitar]. The trio will perform at The Market Place on Friday 5th February at 8pm. Tickets are priced £13 or £11 (concession).
