Written by Carol Gleeson and Helen Spring, ARE YA DANCIN’? – A Showband Story makes its eagerly awaited return after a triumphant national debut in 2024. Set in Donegal during the golden age of Irish music, it follows Tommy O’Neill, a young musician whose rise to fame is over-shadowed by the challenges of a changing society. As the country begins to find its rhythm, Tommy must navigate ambition, love and loss in a world where every note counts.
The Music and energy are so infectious that audiences often find themselves tapping their feet, singing along and even dancing in the Theatre. It’s a celebration of the showband era, designed to evoke the fun and feeling of those dance halls.
