Omega Three Orchestra coming to Theatre Royal

Music lovers are in for a real treat this month when the celebrated Omega Three Orchestra arrive in Waterford to perform in the Theatre Royal.

The 'orchestra' is an eight-piece band who came together three years ago for a gig in the same venue.

For that gig the four-piece Omega Three were joined by other ace musicians and friends who had been guesting with them over the past few years.

The original four-piece of Francie White (vocals), Gerry Madden (mandolin), Gerry Power (guitar) and Mickey Dower (bass) are joined in the Orchestra by musicians, Alan Coonagh (sax and clarinet), Dylan Bible (guitars), Suzanne Rowe (accordion) and Mick Kinsella (harmonicas and percussion).

At the Omega Three Orchestra concert two years ago, they enthralled the huge audience with their eclectic sound as they made impressive harmonies with their music.

One reviewer at the time noted that the respect, admiration and combined love of making music shared by the band members contributed to what was a wonderful night.

The forthcoming gig will be the culmination of numerous requests for a repeat experience as the Orchestra makes a welcome return to the Theatre Royal stage on April 17th.

Expect to hear tunes and song from America, north and south, Europe, east and west, songs and tunes homegrown in Ireland and the unexpected.

Tickets for the concert are priced €23.50 and can be obtained online at theatreroyal.ie

The show gets under way at 8pm.
