The production will complete a six week run through to Monday, September 8 with four shows a week each Friday,Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Johnny said: “The show is basically a snapshot of our social culture here in Northern Ireland. Of course, we have a lot of the classic songs that we’re famous for, but we also have some great examples of the craic and humour that we’re noted for.

“My hope is that the show will appeal to tourists and locals alike, and given the early feedback that we’ve had it would not surprise me if the initial run was extended or indeed, taken on tour.”

The show will feature best loved classics such as My Irish Molly, Let Him Go Tarry, My Heart Will Go On, Carrickfergus, Mountains of Mourne and Green Glens of Antrim as well as Boys From County Armagh, If I Don’t Make It Home, Hills Of Donegal, I Used To Love Her Once, Caledonia, Danny Boy and Brown Eyed Girl among others.
