Since she appeared on stage at Ó Riada’s Bar and Restaurant in Ballymacelligott last in July of 2020, Sharon Shannon has been the subject of a Late Late Show special.

In the course of that show in early December she was the recipient of an eloquent and glowing tribute from no less than President Michael D. Higgins himself.

On the coming Saturday, September 18th Sharon Shannon and the equally gifted Alan Connor will appear at Ó Riada’s again for two well spaced shows

Two Sitting – Two Shows

As before, this will involve two sittings and two shows at times separated by a couple of hours for reasons that we all have off by heart at this stage.

The first sitting, to a three course meal, will be at 5pm and Sharon Shannon will go on stage at 6pm.

The seating and tables will then undergo a deep cleansing process in preparation for the next sitting.

That second meal sitting will be at 7pm and again Sharon will take to the stage an hour later at 8pm.

Table Numbers Limited

Health and Safety Authority and government regulations will be strictly adhered to including social distancing with a ban on dancing remaining.

Social distancing and safety considerations will limit the number of tables available for both sittings and shows.

Tables of four at €60 per head can be booked now on: 087 20 64 119.
