The programme will feature a toe-tapping set of hornpipes and classical favourites, including ‘Canon’ by Pachabell, a Strauss waltz or two with interludes of beautiful Irish airs including Inisheer, the Coolin and some O Carolan tunes. This will be book-ended with plenty of opportunities to sing along to ‘the Black Hills of Dakota’, ‘Mountains of Mourne’ and ‘Jamaica Farewell’ among others.
