Experience “Fairytale of The Pogues” by The Rapparees

Join us for an unforgettable evening as Belfast’s busiest folk band, The Rapparees, bring their renowned tribute show, “Fairytale of The Pogues,” to the TF Royal Castlebar on December 19th. As passionate followers of The Pogues, The Rapparees were thrilled to pay homage to their heroes when asked in 2014, and ten years later, their tribute concerts have become a beloved tradition in Belfast, Dublin, and the UK.

Following the recent passing of the legendary Shane McGowan, The Rapparees have been inundated with requests to share their tribute with new audiences. In response, they will perform four dates in Ireland this Easter, culminating in an expanded Irish and UK Christmas Tour in November and December 2024.

With over 15 years of making waves in the folk music scene, The Rapparees are known for their unique, rough & ready style, reminiscent of Shane McGowan and The Popes. Their deep connection to this music was forged during tours with The Popes earlier in their careers.

Expect to be transported by the magic of hits like “Fiesta,” “A Rainy Night in Soho,” “Dirty Old Town,” “A Pair of Brown Eyes,” “Streams of Whiskey,” “Sally McLennane,” “If I Should Fall From Grace With God,” and of course, the iconic festive classic.

Don’t miss this chance to celebrate the legacy of The Pogues with The Rapparees’ electrifying performance. Get your tickets now for a night filled with the spirit and soul of Irish folk music.
