Titanic Tales - Titanic Shindig

The Titanic Shindig recreates the scene in the film Titanic when Jack whisks Rose down to an Irish party below decks in steerage where Irish band 'Celtic Storm' belt out the traditional Irish tunes and get everyone out dancing. The wild and lively scenes are in complete contrast to the stuffiness of First class from where Rose has just come.

We may not have 'Celtic Storm' but we do have 'Natural Gas' who will be belting out the Irish tunes every night next week after the 'An Irish Connection' concerts in the Promenade. The venue for these sessions will be the Jack Doyle Room of the Commodore Hotel. They will be joined by the Ballymore Set Dancers in what should be a real Irish 'Hoolie.' Natural Gas will play many tunes from the era of Titanic, aswell as the numbers seen in the film. The Ballymore Set Dancers, aswell as giving a display in dancing, will be encouraging participation in the Ceili element of the night and will be on hand to help out in the dance steps.

Doors will be open at 9:30pm with craic, music, and dancing starting straight away. Admission will be €5 on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday night. On Saturday night admission will be €10. However, on all nights, for those who make the effort to dress up in period dress, admission will be free!!!
