This original musical play by Asa Murphy has critics calling it “uplifting” and “a celebration of friendship, community, and the joy of live performance.” Packed with comedy, heart, and a live Irish band, Irish Annie’s offers a night of storytelling and singalongs with classic hits like Tell Me Ma, Dirty Old Town, The Wild Rover, Danny Boy, and more.

It stars TV favourite Ricky Tomlinson (The Royle Family), alongside Samantha Alton, Asa Murphy, Richard Barry, Lynne Fitzgerald, and Nathan Murphy. Whether you’re Irish by blood or just in spirit, this feel-good night at the pub promises laughs, great music, and a warm welcome.
