Philip Brady and his Irish dance school are well-known already as Philip has been a lead dancer for Lord of the Dance for two years and several of his dancers have won world championship medals for Irish dance.
Kathleen Keane on fiddle, accordion and flutes, hails from Chicago – one of the world’s great centers of Irish music and dance. As a youngster, Kathleen took dance lessons from Michael Flatley himself.
Martin Nolan from Dublin is on uilleann pipes and long whistle, and he will be featured for the first time on this tour. He is an internationally acclaimed piper and a teacher of the uilleann pipes who has a number of recordings available.
Sheila Ryan, a singer and harpist from Limerick and currently living in Victoria, along with Ian Millar, another former Irish Rover, provide vocals in the show.
Davey Walker from Ireland is on keyboards. Davey has a world-wide reputation as a music arranger and has worked everywhere that Irish music is played.
All of the musicians and dancers in the show are recording artists with their own careers and they have pooled their talents to provide an Irish smorgasbord of entertainment that will delight people of every age.
