- Town Hall Theatre presents ‘All Shook Up’
Galway Musical Society celebrate their 25th anniversary and are delighted to bring back to the Town Hall this very popular and successful production. A highly entertaining Musical Comedy built around a number of hit songs made famous by Elvis. It tells the very funny story of what happens when ” a rolling roustabout with a song in his soul and an eye for the ladies” rambles into town on his motorbike. The hit songs come one after another and include: ‘Jailhouse Rock’, ‘Blue Suede Shoes’, ‘Teddy Bear’, ‘Burning Love’, ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love With You’….and many more. The production has a terrific Chorus and Dancers and is supported by a professional Orchestra. Sold out in last September’s limited run so book early to avoid disappointment. It will be a fun night out for all the family.

2. Great Live Music:
Friday April 8th – Enemies
Enemies spawned from a solo bedroom project started by guitarist Eoin Whitfield (also member of Wicklow based Kidd Blunt) and was slowly evolved into a full band lineup with the addition of Lewis Jackson, Oisin McMahon-Trench and Mark O’Brien. In April 2007, Enemies were born. The band play upbeat post-rock and in their short time as a band they have toured Ireland, the UK & Japan.
Saturday April 9th The Sumbrellas
Sumbrellas were formed in July 2009 in multinational, multifunctional Galway, Ireland. The three band members come from very diverse backgrounds. Chris White (vocals/guitar/banjo) comes from Lexington Kentucky, Emmet O’Mally (vocals/guitar/mandolin) is from Galway, Ireland, Federico Betti (fiddle/vocals) is from Milan, Italy. This spread in backgrounds and influences leads to a very unique fusion of rock/folk/trad/bluegrass/pop/blues. Since the group’s inception, they have been blazing a trail in the West of Ireland, with great energetic live performances and top of the range original material. In September 2009, Sumbrellas embarked on their first international tour, taking in towns and cities in Northern Italy to a great reaction. This tour confirmed with the group that their music and live performances has an appeal overseas as well as at home. Sumbrellas recorded their debut E.P. “Fast Music” in October, with local producer David Lyons.
