The Irish Tenors produce a concert experience that touches hearts and stirs emotions. Moreover, they’ve proven themselves gifted interpreters of a wide range of material with songs such as “My Heart Will Go On” (Titanic) and “Fairytale of New York”. These songs live comfortably in their repertoire alongside “Danny Boy”. This powerful vocal trio in full flight soars with a performance that never fails to excite!
