Win Tickets to The Irish Rovers at Century Casino on March 31!
The “Kings of Celtic” are “Rovin’ Once Again” as they return to Canada in 2022 celebrating a lifetime of music, and Edmonton’s Century Casino Showroom is on the tour! Although Canada has been home to the band since inception, Ireland has felt the impact of The Irish Rovers’ 55-year career of bringing Irish music and culture to the rest of the world. They were honoured with an official Mayor’s Reception and sold out gig in the their hometown of Ballymena, N. Ireland, and the EPIC Museum in Dublin has added an Irish Rovers Display to their gallery – “Music & Dance: Sharing the Tradition”, which explores how Irish emigrants have impacted the world through music and dance.
In 1968, The Irish Rovers had a breakout hit with their second album, The Unicorn. That album and ‘lucky little ditty’ of a title track written by Shel Silverstein, took them from folk clubs of America to concert halls and television sets worldwide. The Unicorn, which was in fact a last minute add to the original album, left us all with a tear or two, plus the unanswered question, “Whatever happened to the Unicorns when the ark left them stranded on the shore?”
The Irish Rovers have a new album out, called “No End In Sight”.
