The Irish House Party – UK Tour

The Irish House Party was born out of a simple idea between two musicians in Dublin – to share our love of Irish music in its most authentic and intimate form.

We’re Declan Quinn and Gerry Nolan.

We first met playing at a traditional music session in a pub in Dublin – Declan on Irish flute and tin whistle, Gerry on guitar and vocals. From the very start, we clicked – not just musically, but in our shared passion to do something we truly loved full time.

So we created The Irish House Party, a show that gave visitors to Dublin a real taste of what an Irish house party is actually like – intimate, lively, spontaneous and packed with music, dance and laughter.

We wanted to go beyond the cliched stage Irish performances and really bring people into the culture, to help them understand the instruments, the stories behind the songs and the warmth of the tradition – all delivered with fun and humour.

For the past 18 years, our show has run in a beautiful 18th-century Dublin townhouse, becoming one of the city’s top-rated experiences. “If you are ever visiting Dublin be sure to visit us in our home and see where it all began.” Now it’s time to take our house party on the road… join us in Keswick in 2026.
