The Echoes of Erin tour provides a fantastic
showcase for all that is best in Irish traditional music, song and dance. Top

styles that have become synonymous with these events down through the years.
These are the same performers who have already thrilled audiences throughout
the length and breadth of Ireland during the Comhaltas Irish Tour in October
2010. This year All Ireland Champion flute player Orlaith
McAuliffe is joining the tour.
Tickets are £10.00 available from
