Crooning at Christmas

A landmark anniversary arrives this December for Liam O’Brien’s Crooning at Christmas at Dolan’s Warehouse.

 Celebrating 20 years since its debut in 2004, Liam’s holiday celebration of the swing era, has now been one of Limerick's favourite nights out during the city's festive season for two decades.

To mark this very special anniversary of ‘Crooning’, as it’s known by most, the show returns for 2 consecutive nights this year on Sunday December 22nd and Monday December 23rd.

The former Emmerdale star and renowned Rat Pack singer pours his heart and considerable talents into the much-loved show each year, enlisting a superb supporting cast to aid him.

Liam is one of Ireland's leading exponents of the classic crooning style - inspired by his West End leading role playing Dean Martin in "The Rat Pack - Live from Las Vegas" which toured the UK, Europe and right across America.

He regularly performs across Ireland with his own Million Dollar Swing Band and various Big Bands in the UK. He has sung at the prestigious Roundhouse in London and a packed to the rafters Royal Albert Hall for ‘Carols with the Stars’.

Crooning at Christmas features classic songs such as Baby It’s Cold Outside, White Christmas, Let It Snow and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas along with newer tunes by artists such as Harry Connick Jr and Michael Bublé.

Fans of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole will relish the swing sounds of the Million Dollar Swing Band – among them renowned musicians John Daly, Peter Hanagan and Ken Hinchy.

A host of special guests each year has included new and established artists and been a showcase for the best of Limerick’s musical talent since 2004 – with special guests for each show to be announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets are priced at €25 (plus booking fee) and are on sale via our website.

Liam has also raised vital funds for Limerick’s Christmas Poor Campaign every year at the show, having raised over €18000 to date.

Doors are 730pm - with show starting 830pm sharp on Sunday December 22nd and Monday December 23rd. As ever early booking advised
