Details
Over the years, The Irish Rovers have become cherished Canadian music icons, touched three generations of music lovers, and brought Ireland into the living rooms of North America with their three television series and Specials that spanned over twenty years. Now as the lads approach 50 years of touring, the Rovers announce "Farewell To Rovin'".
The last few years have seen The Irish Rovers return to television, return to the radio airwaves, sell out concert tours, garner rave reviews internationally for their Gracehill Fair, Drunken Sailor, and Home In Ireland and Christmas albums, attract the attention of a new younger audience, and be touted in the press as "internet sensations!" The excitement around the Rovers these days confirms that their music continues to hit a chord with fans of all ages, and even now they're attracting a younger generation of musicians to their shows. On this last tour through the Maritimes, concert-goers will enjoy the Irish wit and charm that has captivated audiences since 1964 as The Rovers perform a rollicking mix of their hits, new favourites, and signature Jigs and Reels..
