Entertainment at its best!

Absolutely fabulous singer and a true entertainer, who livens up any party. We came to the Irish Dance Party at Merchant's Arch for a hen party and had such a good time that we returned for a second time for an 18th birthday. Unforgettable experience hosted by Gary and amazing dancers!
