Dublin’s Traditional Irish Cabaret is a celebration of Irish music, laughter, song and dance. Ireland’s greatest comedian, Noel V. Ginnity instantly draws audiences into fits of laughter with his eventful brand of humor, which has delighted audiences for nearly 30 years. Combined with traditional Irish ballads and dance, this will be a rollicking afternoon of good fun from the Emerald Isle.

Noel has chosen a talented group of Irish entertainers to bring a taste of Ireland to American audiences. Tenor Paul Hennessy has been sharing the stage with Noel at his Dublin show for the past twelve years and was also a member of the original three 'Irish Tenors' with whom he performed at several concerts. Soprano Emer Hartnett is a native of Cork. Her broad training and diverse talents have enabled her to work in all fields of music from opera to rock, musicals to cabaret. Paul and Emer sing old favourites such as "Danny Boy", "Galway Bay" and "I'll take you home again Kathleen" and also some modern day classics.

Dublin's Traditional Irish Cabaret is a lively blend of traditional Irish dance, ballads and tunes. The dancers thrill audiences as they twirl and tap with exuberance to the musical accompaniment of the accordion, uileann pipes, guitar and piano.

The accordion is played by All-Ireland-Champion Ailbe Grace from the beautiful Glen of Aherlow in Tipperary and the Uileann pipes are played by piper Tommy Keane from Dublin. The pianist for the show, Pat Marnane, all the way from Tipperary, is also the show's musical director.

Dublin's Traditional Irish Dancers have been hand picked by producer Stuart O'Connor. Stuart is assisted by Ciaran Keating. The show provides a wealth of entertainment for all the family, bringing a touch of nostalgia to every Irish heart.
