Traditional Irish Entertainment for Corporate Events

Traditional Irish entertainment is a hugely popular choice for corporate events. We have a range of traditional musicians, drummers, ceili bands, Celtic Irish Dancers, Irish Pipers, Harpists or Celtic Tenors or even Irish spoken word poetry that will bring “ceol agus craic” to your event or big day!

Celtic Surprise

At an agreed time in the evening a haunting sound of ancient Celtic music can be heard echoing in the room. Cloaked figures carrying candles move majestically through the crowd. They form a guard of honour along the walls of the room, as an imposing figure our bodhrán player enters.

He walks through the crowd and without saying a word steps up onto his designated table and starts his performance with a high intensity solo followed by some audience interaction. During this time, some of the cloaked figures have positioned themselves onto their tables crouched down awaiting the call.

Then with a loud cry and a commanding strike to the bodhrán, the dancers drop their cloaks and erupt into a spectacular hard shoe a cappella performance trade-off against the bodhrán. This generally results in an immediate outburst of spontaneous applause from an astounded audience!

The piece continues with the appearance of a Celtic Warrior Drummer who enters the room. There is a trade-off between the bodhrán and the drum. At the end of this show-down, the drummer has apparently lost the fight, but he has one last trick up his sleeve. To the delight of the crowd, he finally calls 4 female dancers to join him. After one more routine, all 8 dancers and 2 percussionists perform a spectacular hard shoe routine. A powerful dance off then ensues, percussion versus dancers in a sensational duel of rhythm, noise, exhilaration and a huge roar to finish.

Irish Dancing Flash MobIrish

The flash mob begins with the drummer entering the room with a huge ROAR and plays through the room until he reaches his elevated stage or podium. He will continue to play an exhilarating solo piece which will involve some audience interaction.

When his solo piece finishes he will give the dancers their cue to start. The dancers can be dressed in either traditional costumes or dressed as Waiter staff or as guests attending the event, depending on the clients’ preference. As the routine continues more and more dancers join into the routine which will finish with an extremely fast acapella piece.

Depending on the layout and type of floor in the room dancers can be scattered throughout or located in a concentrated focal point depending on what the client wants. If the floor where the performance is to be held is not wooden, small hand-held platforms can be supplied for the dancers to perform on.
