After their spectacular 25th anniversary tour, the men of The Kilkennys are bringing the most famous Irish pub to Dutch theaters: The Temple Bar. This is the vibrant heart of Irish culture, where the rule is simple: as long as the door is open, there is live music!

In this brand-new show, The Kilkennys deliver the perfect mix they are known for: from pristine, traditional folk for the connoisseur to rousing singalongs that get the whole room moving. Whether you come for the beautiful ballads or the genuine energy of a real pub night, the passion bursts from the stage. An evening full of Irish friendship and fun that you won't want to miss!

The band was founded by schoolmates and began touring in Ireland in 1998. In 2008, they chose the name 'The Kilkennys', named after their beloved hometown of Kilkenny. Over the years, the group has continued to grow. Today, the core consists of Davey Cashin (vocals, mandolin, banjo, guitar, whistles), Tommy Mackey (bass, acoustic guitar, vocals), and Mick Martin (bodhrán, uilleann pipes, low whistles, guitar, vocals). From 2024 onwards, it will be an even greater treat with the addition of Davey Long and Jason Turk, who take The Kilkennys' music to an even higher level.
