Celebrate with the Blarney Brothers

RHUMBELOW Theatre, 42 Cunningham Road, Umbilo, presents Blarney Party with The Blarney Brothers from Friday, 1 to Sunday, 3 February.

Now celebrating their 45th anniversary, the indefatigable three-man musical outfit have been at the heart of South Africa’s music scene for four decades this year, livening up parties and gala events with their own special brand of music, including Irish ballads, catchy pub songs, popular ‘newies’ and the occasional Irish jig.

Comprising siblings Paul and Damien McIlroy and fellow band member, Tony Fisher, who all settled in South Africa in the 70s, the three Irish-born musicians joined forces to form their own professional band in August 1974, landing a six-month contract to perform six nights a week at Durban’s Astra Hotel in Russell Street.

The shows on Friday and Saturday will be at 8pm, with the show at 2pm on Sunday.

Take food picnic baskets. The venue opens 90 minutes before the show. Braais will be available should you wish to cook some meat. Tickets are R150 with R130 concessions. Booking is essential through Computicket or contact Roland on 082 499 8636, roland@stansell.co.za or info@durbantheatre.com.
