"One of the best nights we've had in a long time, a night of mysticism and romance - charismatic storytelling at its best! The music was superb and the musicians flawless."
Tristan MacManus. Presenter - Studio 10 - Network Ten Television
Be transported to Ireland with an evening of fiddles, frame drums, pipes, and tales of Irish traditions. ‘Sionnach Rua’s Great Irish Songbook’ is a show like no other. Playing the greatest songs Ireland has ever produced, performed by virtuoso musicians. This is a toe-tapping, hand-clapping and singalong show will have you belly laughing, crying and raising your voice in a celebration of all things Irish.
Selling out shows across Australia with their authentic, lively celebration of Irish traditional music, songs, and stories, ‘Sionnach Rua’ transports audiences to the heart of an Irish bar with infectious energy , masterful storytelling and the craic you’d expect.
Sionnach Rua (pronounced Shun Knock Roo Ah), is Gaelic for ‘Red Fox,’ known throughout Irish mythology as a skilful animal. A fitting name, the group is headed by Dublin-born and raised front man, and one of Ireland’s best storytellers, Gallie, on vocals, acoustic guitar, and bodhrán, an iconic Irish frame drum. Gallie brings together some of the finest multi-instrumentalists, including winner of the Australian Folk Music Awards 2022 Instrumentalist of the Year Paddy Montgomery (bouzouki, guitar), Ruth Wise (fiddle), and Sam Davies (Uilleann Pipes, tin whistle, low whistle).
Interwoven with rich stories from Gallie’s Irish upbringing from the streets of Dublin, with tales of Ireland’s many traditions, folk lore, and long history, this celebration of Celtic music has songs ranging from Planxty to Van Morrison to the Dubliners, as well as traditional songs from the 16th and 17th centuries.
