"A Taste of Ireland", is the vivid portrayal of Ireland’s story told through music and dance. Irish Dance has come a long way since the inception of Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, however A Taste of Ireland takes the art form to the next level. Transporting the audience to a time and place where tunes, taps and tradition were all part of the soul, A Taste of Ireland is the true heart of Ireland.

The ensemble cast of the most talented champion Irish dancers & musicians from around the globe, "A Taste of Ireland" has a blend of what is perhaps one of the only un spoilt depictions of the Celtic homeland to hit Australia. Unique for a production in this genre, A Taste of Ireland features music and dance reflected through raw talent, which is impressively 100% LIVE!!

Melodic celtic accordion, alongside raw and rhythmic guitar and banjo, complimented with heart felt sound of traditional Ullieann Pipes, the tunes are Munster born & Dublin raised.

Impressive dancing rarely seen outside of the World Championship stage, "A Taste of Ireland" was composed and choreographed in Dublin and is quickly on it’s way to becoming the new frontier in Irish entertainment.

Choreographed and led by ex- Gaelforce Dance & Rhythms of Ireland Lead Principal, World Medalist and 6 Time Champion Brent Pace, A Taste of Ireland is built on a cast of the newest and best Irish dance Champions to be recently found from around the globe. "A Taste of Ireland" features music from across the Irish provinces.

Dazzling feet meet moments of Irish wit, as the audience embarks on a journey through the different elements of Irish tradition, as the music and song ballads twist and turn through brilliant choreography, to tell the story of one of the World’s most historic nations. "A Taste of Ireland" is the quintessential Irish tale, a show never to be missed.
