Ireland's hugely successful Three Tenors celebrate five years of touring this year and will return to Hotel Ballina (formerly the Ramada Ballina) on Saturday, April 24 (8.30 p.m.) for a special show.
The Three Tenors performed in the Ballina venue late last year and held the large crowd in thrall throughout.
They are the only Irish tenor group to perform annually at Belfast's Waterfront Hall, Ireland's largest auditorium, and last month they became one of the Republic's first groups to perform at the Ulster Hall in Belfast.
Their Ulster fans certainly got plenty of opportunity to see them as they also headlined the Botanic Gardens Festival, again in Belfast.
But that's not to say they don't get to venues in the rest of the country – their current tour will span the land before finishing in the National Concert Hall, Dublin, on July 10.
After that, management founder and concert promoter John Conway, a native of Ballyhaunis, has big international touring plans for the boys, as well as their first ever concert open to the public at Armagh Cathedral in the summer.
With their amazing voices, the trio bring a very warm atmosphere to all their concerts, which are full of fun, laughter and absolute entertainment.
They create a special rapport with their audience from the very start and achieve standing ovations at the end of every concert.
Their unique show with their own brand of humour features the world's most beautiful songs from Elvis ('Love Me Tender'), Sinatra ('My Way'), Simon & Garfunkel ('Bridge Over Troubled Water'), Leonard Cohen ('Halleluia'), Pavarotti ('Nessun Dorma'), Lloyd Webber and many more great popular songs.
For the Hotel Ballina show they will be joined by stunning star violinist Anne Phelan plus local guests Réalta and the Lawlor School of Song.
So don't miss The Three Tenors – John Scott, David Martin and Declan Kelly – live in concert on Saturday, April 24, in Hotel Ballina.
