SETTLE will host a famous Irish dance and music spectacular which predates Riverdance by 20 years.

The Echoes of Erin group will open its 43rd tour of Britain at Victoria Hall on Saturday. It is the first time the group has visited the area.

Its fast-moving show merges detailed artistry with ensemble music.

Fourteen artists - many of whom are All-Ireland champions - will provide two hours of the best Irish traditional music, song, dance and storytelling. Well-known singer and humorist Seán Ó Shea will lead the group on the night.
