Your charismatic and talented Irish music and dance entertainers will see to it that there is never a dull moment. It doesn’t get any more Irish than that!

Irish Music

Our Irish music is performed by some of the most talented, professional musicians working in Dublin. We aim to keep the music upbeat and enjoyable. The musicians are singer/guitar players who will sing the best loved Irish songs such as the Wild Rover, Whiskey in the Jar, The Galway Girl to name but a few. You get to listen to the history and references behind these songs and Irish stories in a fun and humorous way. The musicians are also happy to sing any requests you may have. The talented musicians will not only sing but also give a performance on traditional Irish instruments such as the Uilleann pipes, tin whistle and bodhran.

Hen Parties

“Future daughter-in-law’s hen do, Fabulous hen party, highlight of our hen do”- are some words from our tourists and hens after their hen do and hen weekends here!

Do consider us for your Dublin hen do. What we'd recommend is a weekend trip to Dublin, romanticize the landscapes and troop into the Irish Dance Party with your hens. Our tourists and hens are mostly from the UK, France, Germany and several other European countries as well.
