Ep 300 – It’s Our 300th Programme! A Round Up of Great Irish Entertainment

This week, to celebrate our 300^th programme, we’re showcasing some of our favourite performances of the last 6 years!

Michael D Higgins, President of Ireland pays tribute to us as we open the programme.

With a mixture of traditional and modern music, dance and so much more, it’s a celebration of all things Irish to tap your foot to!

From all of us at The Irish in the UK, we would like to send out a huge Thank-You to everyone that has supported us along the way. It’s been a great privilege to feature so many amazing people, without which we wouldn’t have such a diverse programme.

Special thanks goes out to Damien Brickland, MD of Eurogold Group and the L’Olivetto Restaurant who have supported our show right from the start.
