The Mothers Arms
Little John Nee and the Highly Strung Orchestra
Tickets: €12/€8
A sell-out hit at this year's Earagail Arts Festival!
Up in the hills in the middle of nowhere...a dilapidated two storey building surrounded by tumbling sheds; dry stone, rusty tin, rotting timber and tar-paper, the yard surrendered to weeds... This is The Mothers Arms Singing Lounge, a quiet place where lonely farmers and weary travellers are drawn to while away the empty hours.
The previous proprietor has recently been sent to prison and his daughter has returned from Louisiana to run the place but the banks are circling like vultures. It's been a long time since there was any singing. On a beautiful summers' morning a vintage automobile struggles up the hill...
This new show, a mixture of music and storytelling by Little John Nee, is a comic, musical helter-skelter ride.
The Highly Strung Orchestra: Orlaith Gilchreest, Andrew Galvin and Jeremy Howard.
Suitable ages 14+
