Fall Tour 2008

Huntsville, Ontario, Canada

"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.

Rob Saunders, General Manager, Huntsville Festival of the Arts, Sep 6 2008




Spring Tour 2008

Laughlin, Nevada, USA

"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.

Port Hope, Ontario, Canada

"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!

Dorking Halls, Surrey England

"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".

Just wanted to say thanks for a 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.

The show 'The Magic of Ireland" concluded the Lewisham Festival with a full house giving a standing ovation.  We received much praise and positive comments.

Playhouse Harlow, Essex England 

"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.

“Getting the show on the road”,

The Savoy Theatre, Glace Bay Nova Scotia, Canada

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.
