PTBOCanada Pics & Review: The Irish Rovers At Showplace

It's remarkable how much energy The Irish Rovers, who are celebrating their 50th Anniversary, bring to the crowd. While they aren't retiring, they say they are just slowing down—poking fun at themselves while playing antics on each other on stage and telling funny yarns loaded with Irish humour.

They played Wednesday night (November 25th) to a sold-out crowd at Showplace, and didn't even need to coach the crowd to clap along because they were already taking part. This group of very talented artists really shined and it was great to see some of them switch through multiple instruments during a single song.

Fifty years is pretty remarkable, and their fans have been along with them for the journey. It was nice to see fans bringing original records (no re-presses here!) to be signed after the show.
