Production details
Last year, tickets for this superb show sold out in weeks. And now Absolutely Legless, a traditional Irish Dance Group based in Edinburgh, returns to The Maltings with an additional matinee performance by demand. Inspired by the Irish hard and soft shoe traditions, Absolutely Legless perform original dances in a relaxed and informal manner while remaining faithful to their roots. The dancers combine the grace of the soft shoes with the power and rhythmic precision of the hard shoes to provide a truly exhilarating experience. This approach is reflected in the music from the live band. The unique line-up of fiddles, flutes and guitar play new arrangements of traditional and original airs, jigs and reels. The combination of the energy of the dancers and Celtic rhythms of the band entertains audiences every time - explaining why Absolutely Legless receive standing ovations all over the world.
