After sold out shows throughout Europe and the UK over the past 3 years, Ireland’s own International success story Rebecca O’Connor is set to return to Australia, Ireland and the UK with her powerhouse show throughout 2019. Rebecca cannot wait to bring her new and exciting show, amazing dancers and band to Galway and the world.
Be prepared to stand in your seats as Rebecca delivers her flawless rendition of Tina Turner’s greatest hits including Nutbush City Limits, Proud Mary, River Deep, Private Dancer, When the Heartache Is Over, Better Be Good To Me, and of course her anthem, Simply the Best. A night you’ll never forget!
Rebecca is the only artist touring in the world that is personally endorsed by the legend. And this show is perfectly summed up by living legend Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac stating that “Rebecca is way beyond a tribute act… she is an amazing singer and performer in her own right, I was mesmerized… a night you’ll never forget.”
Rebecca is the only Irish artist to ever win the prestigious European TV competition “Stars in Their Eyes” hosted by Matthew Kelly, in front of over 33 Million viewers. Rebecca brought her perfect rendition of Tina Turner to life as she wowed the audience. Rebecca continues doing just that, all over the world to packed-out houses!

Event Details
The smash hit comedy based on the novella Letters of a County Matchmaker returns due to phenomenal public demand!
The production stars television favorite Mary McEvoy (known for her roles as “Biddie” in the long running RTE series GLENROE) and Irish Actor and comedian Jon Kenny (who was part of the Irish comic duo d’Unbelievables with Pat Shortt. Kenny is also best known outside Ireland for appearing in the Channel 4 sitcom Father Ted).
McEvoy and Kenny each play a myriad of characters in this hilarious and earthy dramatic comedy.
The play follows the efforts of Dicky Mick Dicky O’Connor to make matches for the lonely and lovelorn. Keane, an avid observer of people and the cultures that bind and create their view of the world uses “The Matchmaker” as an exploration of rural loneliness. Aware that generations of people became masters of their own destinies late in life, and only then began to look for companionship and love, once their duties as minder of aging parents were concluded or they had finally inherited, or were the left over brother or sister.
Using his inimitable way with words and his one sense of “devilment” and wit, Keane delves into the longings, hungers, fears and foibles of this collection of lonely county people and creates a marvelously colorful world, taking us back to a simpler time, when phones were few and far between and the only web was one left behind by spiders.
The show is directed by Michael Scott
