Their show has been touring nationally, as well as in America, for years to sold-out houses.

Fans can look forward to classic favourites including: Oh Holy Night, Ave Maria, A Christmas in Killarney and Auld Lang Syne, as well as some comedy, seasonal stories, music, singing, dancing and memories that will extend beyond the season and last a lifetime.
