Irish House Party coming to Huntingdon Hall in Worcester

The Irish House Party will be performed at Huntingdon Hall on Sunday, February 16.

Organisers say the show gives a “true taste of an Irish house party” with music, dance, and comedy.

The show aims to capture the “essence of Ireland’s musical heritage” by celebrating “centuries-old traditions but with a contemporary twist”.

Declan Quinn, one of the show’s co-founders, said: “We are really excited to be returning to the UK.

“We were blown away by the reaction to our last UK tour and are delighted to be able to extend it to a three-week run this time.”

Explaining the origins of an Irish house party, Quinn said: “It was originally associated with people emigrating from Ireland to the UK, Canada, America and Australia. Neighbours and friends would gather in the house the night before.

“Tunes would be played, songs would be sung and dances danced on the stone kitchen floor.

“These parties were great fun and this coming together and sharing of the music, song and dance has been a major reason why the music tradition has survived so strongly in Ireland.”

He added: “We want people who come to the show to feel like they are coming into a friend’s house.

“It is a really intimate way to experience our music and dance and for us as performers to be able to connect with the audience.”

The tour coincides with the release of their new single, The Rattlin Bog.

Tickets for the show is now available on the Irish House Party website.
