Day out at the Everyman
This heady tribute to pure nostalgia revisits those hits that played each day on the radio and dominated the ballrooms of romance, like the Arcadia, Shandon Boat Club, Red Barn, the Majorca in Crosshaven and more. From Tom Jones to Dickie Rock, Eileen Reid to Dusty Springfield, relive your memories as of the great showband craze in Ireland and, more specifically in Cork.
Featuring the Brilliant Sunday Songbook team, our fabulous Songbook Band, and very special guest, showband legend Art Supple of the Victors Showband. Much of today’s popular music in Ireland can be trace back to the country’s ‘Showband era’ which swept through the country in the late 1950’s and 60’s.
Written and directed by Cathal MacCabe, this will be a Sunday afternoon of fun, story and singing you will not want to miss!
