The superb summer music show The Legend of Gráinne Mhaol returns to Hotel Westport for its third season this summer with a star studded line-up of musicians, singers and dancers from all over the west of Ireland.
Based on the real-life story of the legendary Irish Pirate Queen Grace O’Malley or Gráinne Mhaol, this live show every Wednesday night at Hotel Westport is a must-see for anyone visiting Mayo this summer. Lord of the Dance fiddle player Cora Smyth headlines the show with renowned balladeers James Kilbane and Jenny Mulvey, Latino dancer Pollyanna Guedes, All-Ireland champion box player Darragh Healy, Ireland’s most gifted sean nós dancers, Ashline and Mícheál Cunningham, and Liam Scanlon all on board for this magical and mythical voyage into Mayo.
The Gráinne Mhaol traditional music show is full of energy and enthusiasm and keeps audiences of all ages gripped from start to finish as it blends the old and the new, the contemporary and the ancient, the sean nós dancing against the more modern steps and styles of Irish dancing. The Gráinne Mhaol show is an incredible, unique, entertainment that combines old traditional Irish dances with the passionate Latino rhythms of tango, flamenco and salsa in a performance of strength and passion. This show is a must-see for every visitor to the west this summer. The show runs every Wednesday night at Hotel Westport from June 15 until to September 28. Tickets cost €25 and are available from www.hotelwestport.ie or 098 25122.
