St Patrick\u2019s weekend at The Market Place Theatre in Armagh will see family fun and music with a traditional St Patrick\u2019s Day feel.<\/h1>\n

\u2018Spot\u2019 will introduce young audiences to a magical world of light, sound and movement. In this delightful show for kids, Spot is a very particular stage light. Its light shines and expresses itself by drawing shapes and colours on the floor. Simple words come along with the actors\u2019 action, looking for a unity of image made of lights, sounds and movements. Spot is a friendly and endearing stage light who loves to tell stories. Spot can be the yellow sun, the blue sea or red fire; a balloon, a hoop or nothing at all. But most of all Spot loves to have fun. \u2018Spot\u2019 will be staged on Thursday 16 March at 10.15am and 11.30am.<\/p>\n

On Saturday 18 March, enjoy the sounds of \u2018Topos\u2019, consisting of Tola Custy, Karol Lynch and Paul McSherry, a trio of world-class traditional musicians with impeccable music credentials. Acclaimed world class Clare fiddle player Tola Custy is one of the most influential players of his generation and plays on occasion with the super group \u2018Lunasa\u2019. Master of all things stringed, Co Clare man Karol Lynch is a member of musical stalwarts \u2018Stockton’s Wing\u2019. Belfast’s very own Paul McSherry is recognised as one of the world’s top exponents in the world of traditional Irish guitar playing. They will be joined on stage by celebrated singers Mary Dillon and T\u00edona McSherry, considered to have two of the most distinctive voices in Irish music today.<\/p>\n

\u2018One Horse Pony\u2019 combine superb musicianship, vocal harmonies and an uncompromising drive to deliver original Blues Roots music from Ireland’s deep South. The Cork band are on a roll, having topped the iTunes Blues Chart with their single ‘Staring Blues’, played \u2018Electric Picnic\u2019, \u2018Indiependence\u2019, and \u2018The Guinness Jazz Festival\u2019. They have also shared the bill with \u2018The Blind Boys Of Alabama\u2019. The band maintains a residency in legendary music venue Whelan’s, where new material is constantly honed and perfected. \u2018One Horse Pony\u2019 will perform on Saturday 18 March at 8.30pm.<\/p>\n

Then on Sunday 19 March, how about something completely different for the kids. Punch Lion Kids\u2019 Comedy Club is a family friendly stand-up comedy club for kids and big kids! We bring top comedians with silly jokes to make you giggle and grin and laugh out loud. Come to the show for knock knock jokes and silly songs, nonsense word play and stories of pongs. Big loud mime and funny faces, making your belly ache with laughter, lots and lots to talk about after! Children must attend with an adult. Recommended age 6+.<\/p>\n
