In less than a month, all the world will be Irish with St. Patrick’s Day. 

But New Yorkers and Australians can get an early start with “A Taste of Ireland – The Irish Music & Dance Sensation”.  The touring company will begin a tour around the world on March 5 in Oneonta.

Among the performers are World champion dancers and members from Irish Dance groups “Riverdance” and “Lord of the Dance”.

The program is a musical romp through Ireland’s history including new versions of old Irish classics.

Included in the tour is a week long engagement in New York City.

There is a second tour group that will begin “Down Under” in Australia in March.
