Leveraging the pub’s stunning video backdrop, crisp acoustics and the very best in Irish talent, Raglan Road Show Director, David Hayes, promises “an authentic cultural journey that’s both ‘lyrical and rollicking’ [that] will take us from Ireland’s Ancient East to the most contemporary of Irish traditional musical content and ideas, all topped off with dance routines that punch and float in equal measure.”

Here are eight interesting facts about the new entertainment lineup:

• There are four new shows throughout each evening, plus a weekend Rollicking Raglan Brunch show.
