A brand-new show – Rhythms of Raglan 2018 – has launched at Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant in Disney Springs after months of rehearsals in Ireland.

Raglan Road Show Director David Hayes promises “an authentic cultural journey that’s both ‘lyrical and rollicking’ … it will take us from Ireland’s Ancient East to the most contemporary of Irish traditional musical content and ideas, all topped off with dance routines that punch and float in equal measure.”

Some fun facts about the new production:

— 4 new shows throughout each evening, plus a new weekend Rollicking Raglan Brunch show
— 16 musicians (11 new and 5 returning musicians, including two Scots)
— 1 “absolutely cracking” new Raglan Road dance troupe with 8 new Irish dancers and one troupe veteran, many of whom have toured the world
— 16 new dance routines and 14 new songs
— 55 new pieces of musical content from songs and instrumentals to jigs and reels that show the journey of Irish music throughout the world from Trad to Celtic Rock to Funk, Latin, Bluegrass
