THE UK’s #1 CELEBRATION OF THE MUSIC OF GARTH BROOKS

With 19 number one hits, 9 number one albums and over 170 million album sales, he’s the biggest selling artist on the planet after the Beatles!

Seen live by over a billion people and holding the record for the fastest selling concert in history (with over 400,000 tickets sold for the Dublin shows in an hour) it’s hard to overstate the popularity of country music megastar Garth Brooks.

This affectionate tribute show features covers of all the classic hits including, among many others ‘If tomorrow never comes’, ‘Friends in low places’, 'The thunder rolls’ and of course ‘The Dance’.

It also features Deeanne Dexeter, the UK’s leading tribute to Trisha Yearwood, who has been Garth’s backing vocalist and support act for over 30 years, as well as a major recording artist in her own right, scoring a number one hit in 1991 with the timeless ‘She’s in love with the boy’.

So dig out those cowboy hats and join us for a celebration of the classic hits of Garth Brooks.
