Exciting events coming to Backstage Theatre this week
Little Folk on the Road and Declan Nerney are set to be on stage
Backstage Theatre is set to host exciting shows this week, with Little Folk on the Road and Declan Nerney performing live on stage.
Little Folk On The Road is a fun family concert perfectly suited for 2-7-year-olds and their adults. It takes place on Saturday, April 6, at 11am.
Kyle Riley is an award-winning children's music with catchy kids' tunes and proper sing-along songs; it's super fun for the whole family.
The fun doesn't stop when the show ends because each child gets a little musical goody bag so they can join in during the show and take the music home with them.
Kyle has been writing and performing children's music for over 10 years. He has toured Ireland and abroad, bringing his entertaining and engaging show to thousands of families.
Declan Nerney performs live on stage on April 5 at 8 pm, making a much-anticipated return to his native Longford with special guests John McNicholl and John Hogan.
Declan was born in Drumlish, Co Longford, at a unique period in the music scene worldwide. A revolution in rock and pop brought us The Beatles, Elvis, and the Rolling Stones, while here in Ireland, the magnificent showband boom was about to explode.
As a young man, he would cajole his mother into seeing Joe Dolan, Big Tom, Philomena Begley, The Capital Showband, and many more perform when they appeared at the marquee in Drumlish at the end of May and early June.
From his vantage point close to the stage, he would absorb every move made by the band's guitarist, watching his fingers slide along the strings, hoping that one day he might be up there performing just like Dan O'Hara or Seamus McMahon.
Declan has gone on to have a super career that has spanned over four decades at the top of Irish Country Music. He has won many accolades along the way and scored countless hits with his catalogue of trademark songs.
Join him and his super live band with special guests John McNicholl and John Hogan for a nostalgic night of music, song and laughter at Backstage Theatre as part of his 2024 Where's the Party nationwide concert tour.
