Special St Patrick’s celebration with the Barleyshakes

Get in quick to secure your tickets for what is sure to be a sensational night of St Patrick’s Irish celebration and good times with The Barleyshakes on Saturday 16 March at the Sunshine Beach Surf Club.

The Barleyshakes are thrilled to present an all-Irish show with the award-winning SAR Irish dancers in the newly renovated function space at the Sunshine Beach Surf Club.

Tickets for this special evening include a two-course dinner and and there will be some great Irish drink specials to quench your Celtic thirst!

Adored throughout Australia and beyond for their refreshing Irish sound, The Barleyshakes are winners of the Queensland Music Award for World Music.

Recently returned from their tour of Tasmania and Woodford Folk Festival, the Shakes (as they are often known) are keen to air lots of old Irish favourites as well as some exciting fresh material for this special one-off show.

Ever since their inception in the 90’s in Dublin, The Barleyshakes have been turning heads. Their mission has always been to inject new life into Irish music while honouring the traditional past.

Their live shows have taken them around the globe and they continue to take audiences on a joy-filled ride wherever they perform – with intense energy, beautiful harmonies, and irresistible dance rhythms.

They use fiddles, flutes, tin whistle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, vocals, bass, bodhran, and drums to create their truly wonderful Celtic sound.

They have shared the stage with Christy Moore, Damien Dempsey, Lunasa, Metallica, Kila, Joe Cocker, Sharon Shannon, Altan, and Grada – to name a few.

The fabulous SAR Irish dancers have put together a special dance set for the night and will also dance live with the band!

Tickets to the show are limited, so early booking is strongly advised.

TICKETS: $85 (+ booking fee) through trybooking.com/COQJG.

Doors open 6pm.
