From crowd pleasers like The Pogues, Dubliners etc, to Led Zeppelin acoustic mash-ups and ancient ballads dug from the archives. The Courtiers combine dazzling musicianship, witty banter, and pure entertainment which never fails to get a crowd on their feet!

Such an amazing band! Really filled the room and got everyone up and dancing. Not only that, a really nice bunch of guys as well to boot! thank you all for making my birthday one to remember!

Thanks for playing at my birthday bash - you guys are amazing!! Couldn't have finished on a better song than Fields of Athenry!!

Another brilliant night on Thursday and it was great to see the Vaults so full. Rob wants the date of the next one please? ... particular favorites were Galway Girl, Irish Rover and that lovely instrumental piece on the whistle. Was it a low F and what was the piece called please? As usual the violin playing was amazing and we were in awe.
