Many of our creatures have “evolved” since the last tour\, now featuring distinctive display feathers\, head crests and tail fans\, reflecting recent discoveries about the physical nature of these massive creatures. This show remains a must-see for audiences of all ages.” The one-hour\, 40-minute show depicts the dinosaurs’ evolution with almost cinematic realism. WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – THE ARENA SPECTACULAR has scenes of the interactions between dinosaurs\, how carnivorous dinosaurs evolved to walk on two legs\, and how the herbivores fended off their more agile predators. \nNine species are represented from the entire 200 million year reign of the dinosaurs. The show includes the Tyrannosaurus Rex\, the terror of the ancient terrain\, as well as the Plateosaurus and Liliensternus from the Triassic period\, the Stegosaurus and Allosaurus from the Jurassic period and Torosaurus and Utahraptor from the awesome Cretaceous period. The largest of them\, the Brachiosaurus\, is 11 metres tall and 17 metres from nose to tail. It took a team of 50 – including engineers\, fabricators\, skin makers\, artists painters\, and animatronic experts – a year to build the production. The history of the world is played out with the splitting of the earth’s continents\, and the transition from the arid desert of the Triassic period is given over to the lush green prairies and forces of the later Jurassic. Oceans form\, volcanoes erupt\, a forest catches fire — all leading to the impact of the massive comet\, which struck the earth\, and forced the extinction of the dinosaurs. \nThe show originated in Australia\, where after years of planning\, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – THE ARENA SPECTACULAR came to life at Sydney’s Acer Arena in January 2007. Soon after this successful season\, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – THE ARENA SPECTACULAR went on to conquer North America\, Europe and Asia garnering record-breaking audiences. Michaela Strachan Award-winning TV presenter\, author and public speaker.

SUMMARY:Irish National Opera Presents Giuseppe Verdi AIDA
DESCRIPTION:*Sung in Italian with English surtitles** \nThe enslaved princess. Her love for one of her oppressors. Her father ready to wage war. A dilemma both personal and political. All set during a large-scale conflict between Ethiopia and the Egypt of the Pharaohs. \nAida is the grandest of grand operas\, celebrated for its visual and vocal spectacle. At its heart it is also a story of moving private struggles. Aida\, an Ethiopian princess enslaved in Egypt\, is torn between her love for Radamès\, Captain of the Egyptian Guard\, and loyalty to her father\, Amonasro. Her solution leads to betrayal and death. \n“Orla Boylan… she is operating at full throttle‚ sailing above the stave and glorying in her power.”  The Telegraph \n“Gwyn Hughes Jones as Radamès sings superbly\, in an all-conquering voice\, with enough honey in it for any love song.”  The Guardian \n“Orla Boylan… soared with fiery intensity.”  The Spectator

SUMMARY:We’ve Only Just Begun Bord Gáis Energy Theatre
DESCRIPTION:20\,000 tickets sold in Ireland plus successful tours of the UK\, Holland and Belgium. Ireland’s most successful touring tribute show returns home for a short Irish tour in October \nThe show’s creator and promoter Pat Egan says: “The success of the show is down to the outstanding high quality of the production\, brilliant band and singers but ever more so the astonishing voice of Toni Lee recreating to perfection the smoky tones of Karen Carpenter. No other Carpenters show comes near”. \nThe show’s Musical Director and arranger is Eugene McCarthy\, a highly experienced musician of over 30 years who has worked with top Irish and international acts.\nToni Lee is unique\, utterly unique in that she recreates the voice of Karen Carpenter like no one else alive. Her touring show “We’ve Only Just Begun” has been on the road now for over 5 years and it’s simply the best Celebration of the Carpenters music to be heard anywhere in the world. The show features every Carpenter hit with an 8 piece big band and audiovisuals of the Carpenters career highlights. It’s an evening of pure nostalgia where Toni Lee truly becomes Karen Carpenter. \nToni grew up in a music business family. Her dad was a professional musician and her mum worked as an agent. So Toni has been surrounded by bands and singers from an early age. When other kids were playing street games\, Toni was packing her Dad’s car with his instruments and discovering what life on the road was all about! \nShe first came to national attention when she appeared as Karen Carpenter on ITV’S “Stars in their Eyes” which led to the creation of her touring show “We’ve Only Just Begun”\, which this year will return to tour Ireland\, the UK and Holland and will also visit both Australia & America for the first time. With 25 years’ singing experience\, Toni Lee is the ultimate professional performer whose attention to detail and pride in her work is second to none.

SUMMARY:Suede Bord Gáis Energy Theatre
DESCRIPTION:One of the most ground breaking bands of the 90’s\, Suede return to Dublin this October off the back of their 8th studio album ‘The Blue Hour’ \nSuede’s career is of two chapters. Dubbed as “the best new band in Britain” in 1992 & appearing on ‘Melody Makers’ front cover before even releasing their debut\, the band continued on an upward trajectory with the critically acclaimed ‘Dog Man Star’ & the post Bernard Butler ‘Coming up’ before a self-imposed 10 year hiatus in 2003. \nReturning with ‘Bloodsports’ (2013) and the far darker ‘Night Thoughts’ (2016) the band have again twice shown their astonishing abilities at bringing sadness & darkness to light through tales of outsider romance\, alienation & urban decay from the musings of lead singer Brett Anderson \nTheir new offering\, ‘The Blue Hour’ sees the band hint at a narrative that’s never quite explained and their visit to Bord Gais Energy on Sunday 14th of October marks a departure from their usual Olympia haunt and sees the band explore a new side to Dublin’s live offering.

SUMMARY:Marti Pellow Bord Gáis Energy Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Having achieved the highest accolades with one of the most successful bands in UK pop history\, MARTI PELLOW is now achieving that rare position of a highly successful career as both a solo artist and as a leading musical theatre star. \nThis is a career that has so far seen a record for the longest Number One in UK chart history\, one of the four biggest selling songs in the UK of all time\, consistent chart topping multi-platinum album sales\, the honour of having the White House proclaim a day be named after him\, the breaking of box office records\, the starring in huge hit musical theatre productions in London’s West End and on Broadway in New York\, the playing to hundreds of thousands on international Arena tours\, the selling out of intimate jazz clubs. It’s a career of monumental achievement and at the heart of all this is the uncompromising dedication and passion of the singer songwriter Marti Pellow. \nThe BRIT and Ivor Novello award-winning singer-songwriter first came to our attention as the lead singer of Wet Wet Wet. As both a solo artist and with Wet Wet Wet\, Marti has had consistent chart-topping multi-platinum albums; with over 25 chart hits and three of the UK’s biggest number-one singles\, including: ‘Goodnight Girl’ and the iconic ‘Love Is All Around’.

Last year he toured and then returned to the West End as Che in the award-winning smash hit production of Evita earning a nomination for What On Stage Awards’ Best Actor. \nIn concert\, Marti has brought his own music to audiences throughout the world: from Madison Square Gardens to intimate residencies at Ronnie Scotts; to the UK’s biggest free concert on Glasgow Green to dueting with Joe Cocker\, Elton John and Mark Knopfler. \nIn 2017\, Marti released his new solo album Mysterious which was recorded at Ocean Way studios in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Andy Irvine and Paul Brady Bord Gáis Energy Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Following 2017’s sold out tour of their 1977 eponymous folk classic\, Andy Irvine & Paul Brady\, accompanied by Dónal Lunny & Kevin Burke come to Bord Gáis Energy Theatre for one night only. \n1975 – forerunners of Ireland’s dynamic trad-folk movement of the early 70s Planxty has imploded. Paul Brady had joined the band to replace the departing Christy Moore. It was to be an exciting twist for Ireland’s most exciting band – a new powerful voice to bolster the ensemble’s incredible momentum. But sadly Brady never got to record with Planxty. Fatigue and financial difficulties brought the band to a standstill. \n“It was a great relief\,” admits Andy Irvine. “We adjourned to Madigan’s pub in Donnybrook. We drank to the demise of Planxty\, looked at each other and said\, ‘’So what do we do now? Since Paul and myself had struck up a particular friendship we decided to stick together and become a duo.” \nTogether Andy Irvine and Paul Brady made an eponymously-titled album\, released in 1977 on the thriving Mulligan Records label. Today\, nearly 40 years later\, it stands as one of the most vital documents\, not just of Irish music\, but international folk music of any era. It is as close as perfection gets\, a moment in time\, beautifully captured\, framed with a timelessness that still bewitches new listeners today. It is basically two of the greatest interpreters of the Irish folk song\, side by side\, relishing in this magical musical chemistry. They were accompanied by the great fiddler Kevin Burke and Dónal Lunny of Planxty and The Bothy Band\, who also produced the album recorded in Wales. \n“Paul and myself\, with Dónal and Kevin Burke\, made our only album in Rockfield Studios in August 1976. I think I can speak for both Paul and myself\, when I say that we are very proud of this album. It takes a long time to be at a distance from something you recorded and listen to it dispassionately. When I hear that album\, I can say it’s good without fear of being thought of as conceited. I now hear it objectively\, almost as if it was someone else. That was a great time and I look back at those days as being among my best musical experiences. Nobody who was at those Festivals\, like say\, on Sherkin Island in ’76 and ’77 will ever forget them.” \nThe album contained some of the songs and tunes which inevitably would have been recorded for the next Planxty album had they not disbanded. It opens with the fiery Plains of Kildare\, fuelled on a galloping Bulgarian rachenitsa rhythm. Elsewhere they draw songs from the Sam Henry collection\, Brady sings the beautiful Lough Erne Shore\, learned from Paddy Tunney (son of the great Brigid Tunney)\, as well as reels\, jigs and a hornpipe. Irvine contributes his self-penned Autumn Gold\, a poignant recollection of his times spent in Eastern Europe in the late 60s. \nPaul Brady’s version of Arthur McBride sits as a sort of centre-piece to the album\, a monumental seven-minute folk ballad that can bring a room of any size to a standstill whenever it is performed. Even Andy Irvine\, who had sung his own version of the song on Planxty’s seminal debut album had to hold his hands up! “I always remember the first time I heard it in a Donegal pub. I was blown away as everybody has been since!” \nThe duo\, accompanied by the musicians who helped them make the record back in 1976\, will unite once again to bring this timeless magic to the folk connoisseurs of Ireland\, young and old.
