Following the overwhelming success of their first tour, Acting The Maggot returns to the theatre. The Netherlands’ best Irish party band presents its new show ‘Irish Rebels & Rovers’.
Expect a lively evening full of Irish sounds, rousing rhythms and that essential pub atmosphere. But right there in your theatre!
In ‘Irish Rebels & Rovers’, the musicians take you on a musical journey through the green heart of Ireland, past centuries-old ballads, fiery folk songs and rebellious battle hymns. Songs full of passion, love and freedom. With a singer who is a fantastic storyteller, a dose of humour, a load of energy and a mountain of musicality, the stories of the Irish ‘rebels and rovers’ come to life.
