A Celtic Christmas down under

An Australian-Irish dancing company is bringing the Celtic Christmas spirit on their latest tour to Bunjil Place on November 30.

Pace Live Entertainment will present its tour called A Celtic Christmas through an arsenal of exceptional Irish dancers and world-class musicians, blending song and dance that embodies the heart of the festive season.

Director and producer of the show, Brent Pace said that they have “curated a spectacular line-up, featuring unparalleled talents from across the globe.

“From world-class musicians to the most skilled Irish dancers, our stage is graced by the very best in the industry.”

The cast will feature Sean Michael McHugh, the company’s dance director with 15 years of experience in another popular musical Lord of The Dance.

Joining Sean will be Ciara Loughran, 2022’s senior ladies’ world champion in Irish Dance, both with the goal of showing audiences the festivities of Irish Christmas.

Ceili Moore, a producer for the show said that it is “a tapestry woven with the rich threads of Irish influence.

“With brand new music that captures the essence of our heritage and talents that echo through every note, we invite our audience to immerse themselves in a truly authentic Irish experience.”

Both Brent Pace and Ceili Moore have made a name for themselves on the world stage of Irish dancing, winning world championships and dancing alongside other talents such as Michael Flatley, Riverdance and Gaelforce.

With both director and producer from lineages of well-known Irish dancing families in Australia, Pace Live Entertainment Group aims to make the show not just a performance but a journey into the soul of Ireland.
