......................................... Ireland’s reigning queen of rockabilly, Imelda May, will perform at The Royal Theatre on Sun 14th December. The truly unique Imelda has returned with her album TRIBAL, which reached No.1 in the Irish album charts. Far from mellowing with motherhood, Imelda sizzles more than ever with her leatherclad attitude, returning with a brand new album of hard-edged anthems. Continuing on from her successful TV ‘Imelda May Show’ on RTE one, Imelda plays only a few special Christmas dates - the Royal Theatre is one - don’t miss this Christmas Cracker!

Amazing Grace is a catch phrase often applied to Brendan and is indeed very true in many respects. The genial and much loved family comedian, singer and actor is celebrating 42 years in the comedy business and is now more popular than at any time in his career, and what an illustrious career to date! Brendanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest show features some brand new material and some old favourites from his vast repertoire over the last 42 years. His sense of timing and ability to read an audience is without equal. A brilliant character actor, his Bottler character is legendary and featured at every performance. Family comedians with the talent and graciousness of Brendan Grace are as rare as Haleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Comet and only come around now and again - he is certainly one in a million. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Absolutely brilliant show, never stopped laughing throughoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
