Get ready for an extraordinary journey that will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the power and beauty of Celtic music.”

lan & Kristin Kelly are two founding members of the well known Irish powerhouse band the Barleyshakes. Together they bring you upbeat sounds of Ireland on sweet sensuous fiddle, and spirited guitar. Having performed at concert halls, clubs, and festivals in over 25 countries, the Shakes take you on a journey from Ireland’s happier pre-famine days, and follow with songs of emigration, desperation, resilience, and struggle.

Spirits will be lifted from some haunting compositions by humorous tales and sprightly jigs and reels. The modern Irish movement also features in their live repertoire featuring todays dance grooves while honouring the tradition of Irish music. Also, Scottish, Canadian and Eastern European compositions feature, alongside original and traditional Irish tunes and songs. Experience The Barleyshakes' passion and talent at the Turner Centre in Kerikeri on January 22, 2025.

Their music will have you laughing, crying, singing, and dancing—don't miss this unforgettable evening!
