St Patrick's Day at Home
The big St Patrick's Day party
From the island of Ireland came the St Patrick's Day party we were all waiting for! This fun-filled 90-minute show was broadcast live on 17 March from three of Ireland's best-loved pubs, bringing a festival of music, Irish dancing, special guests and a few surprises right into people’s living rooms.
The Celtic Drummers kicked off the entertainment with a pulse-pounding opening ceremony in Dublin, while folk superstars the Shamrock Tenors joined from Belfast. The talented folks from Riverdance even dropped by to show everyone how it’s done!
Add in some lively "show and tells" on everything from playing the spoons to pouring the perfect pint of Guinness from a can, and you had a night to remember!
