If you're visiting Galway or even just the West Of Ireland, try to get along and see the Trad on the Prom. It is a superb evening out featuring some extremely talented Irish musicians demonstrating the best of traditional Irish music and dancing.

I was keen to experience some Irish singing and dancing, preferably in one of the local pubs, so when we were heading into the Salthill Hotel and could see all the tour buses, I was concerned that this might not be the real thing. Nothing could be further from the truth. We had great seats and the sound in the ballroom was superb.

The show is in two halves and some of the performers happily mingle during the interval and at the end. We both found it exhilirating and moving. Highly recommended.

It was wonderful show - seeing these dancers, singers and musicians who perform all over the world in a smaller, more personal venue (we were fortunate to have great seats!). The kids were able to get autographs and photos afterwards. The traditional music was excellent and everyone was so friendly! We had a great time! I hope you enjoy this show as much as we did when you are in Galway.

As Aussie visitors to Ireland we had an excellent night out at the Trad last month. I did not know but Trad is short for traditional Irish music and dance. Our expectations after a long day trecking across from the other side of Ireland were modest but these guys put on an excellent show. The quality of music and dance was outstanding and worthy of a much bigger venue in front of thousands. Even little things, like making sure that our kids (4 of them) had good seating meant that we set the night off on the right foot.
All the dancers and musicians including those from Riverdance and Lord of the Dance along with world champion junior dancers (the young irish dancing brothers were quite extra-ordinary). An all up very good night out and well with the visit down the promenade. The hotel is a little tricky to find and the venue a little tucked away.
Tickets were very reasonable, and they offered a great deal for 2 adults and 4 kids which made it easy on the pocket. The room was 80% full which made for a good atmosphere and this was on a Sunday night. Get in early to get a good seat (before the tourist coaches arrive) or even better, request to reserve seats. Go the Trad.
