"a real crowd pleaser"
The Magic of Ireland show exceeded our expectations and was a real crowd pleaser. The combination of live, original Irish music and the incredible dancing provided a perfect balance that was both educational and inspirational. It was also great to see the age range in the audience. Young and old enjoyed the performance.

"3 standing ovations"
In a word... WOW! Your show Magic of Ireland is pure high energy entertainment. The dancing was incredible and this is what Irish dance, music and culture is all about. You thoroughly captivated our audience and the 3 standing ovations were proof no one wanted to see it end. Sheer beauty that touched our spirits
We are delighted to rebook your group for next St. Patrick’s Day (March 17, 2009) and anxiously await your return.
Look forward to working with you again.

"... every bit as good [as Riverdance]"
I think the best compliment I can pay the show is from a ticket payer who went to see Riverdance at Rama and called me after and said our show was every bit as good and didn't cost an arm and leg and it was for a very good cause.
The patrons in the bar thoroughly enjoyed the after hour part and it was the talk of the pub for days after.
Peter and company are the most gracious people I have worked with in the entertainment business.

"... a home run!"
Magic of Ireland hit a home run! Excellent Show! Andrew Vickers (sp) and the dancers knocked the audience right out of their seats. The dancing was up there with the best in the world. This is a show everybody should see. Pure family entertainment we can't wait to have them back.

"An amazing ensemble of talent"
I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much my husband and I enjoyed the performance of The Magic of Ireland group that came to Port Hope recently. We have seen many performances over the years, and without a doubt, this performance was one of the best we have ever seen! An amazing ensemble of talent kept the audience mesmerized throughout the evening; from the extremely talented musicians and dancers to the primary dancers who were beyond astounding to say the least; we are still talking about the incredible performance that was given and have told all of our family and friends about it! It is an evening that I am glad we had the opportunity to experience, and I can not wait for the group to return for another exceptional event! An evening well spent at the theatre!

"Delightful Irish Cameo"
The Audience participation grew as the
evening progressed and everybody appeared to be singing and clapping
to 'Belfast City’, which drew the loudest
acclaim. All too soon the evening drew to a close and one can
reflect on how a team of superb musicians and dancers can provide such great
entertainment.

"What else can we say, except BRILLIANT
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
With beautiful choreography and costuming, Excellent
staging, the show has surprised us at every
turn. This is a show to be proud of. Dancers you were excellent, the Band was a
joy, the only disappointment was when we were told
"this is our last number".

marvellous
show and a special thanks to the cast who took the time to talk to people after
the show and for making the evening a special event for one little girl who
talked of nothing else for the entire ride home.

"I must admit, although Irish dancing is not something
I go out of my way to watch, the lead male dancer was one of the most talented
performers I have seen for quite some time, general feed back form the audience
was very positive and I would certainly consider bringing the show back at some
point in the future."
Phil Dale, theatre manager, March 13, 2005
“What comes first the music or the dance”?
The “Magic of Ireland” is unique because of
its two most important qualities it’s “traditional”, and
“live”, because audiences will never get the same show twice, we hope they will
return year after year to enjoy a whole new “magical”, experience.

I am an avid Irish Dance Show watcher and my friends and I
went to your performance. We were very impressed and thought that it was one of
the best shows we had ever seen. We called our
friends across the boarder in the USA to make sure they get tickets
to the show. Again, congrats on your great production and I think I speak for
all who saw the show in Glace Bay.
