Enjoy some early St Patrick’s Day celebrations at the Rhumbelow Theatre at the Allan Wilson Shellhole in Alan Paton Road, Pietermaritzburg on Sunday, Maarch 13 at 2 pm and 6.30 pm.

South Africa’s very own Irish minstrel, Dave Monks presents an evening of fun, party and above all sing-along Irish music.

With a proven repertoire of rousing Irish favourites, Dave delivers a touch of the blarney in his collection of Irish tales and jokes.

Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, he gives more than a touch of real authenticity to this show of Irish music and humor. The folky feel of the music is accentuated by his mastery of the fiddle, banjo, guitar, harmonica, tin whistle and vocals.

To be sure, there’s nothing that lifts the spirits more than a rousing evening of sing-along, clap-along Irish music.

Tickets are R140 (R120 pensioners and tables of eight or more) at Computicket. The venue opens 90 minutes before the show, so bring food baskets but no drinks. There is a cash bar.
