Kansas City Irish Fest Lowdown Part 7

The Children’s Stage

You mean to say that the kids don’t have enough; they have to have a special stage. That is for Certain!

You have to just look at the schedule and try to get it all in…every act is a winner for us.

Seamus Kennedy

Seamus Kennedy is an Irish Singer, Songwriter, Musician, Comedian and all-round entertainer plus an Author. He is from Belfast and has been entertaining for over 40 years. The hint here, is the whole family will love him, so you can circle him as a Family entertainer.

Tom Sweeney

Tom Sweeney, from Omagh, Northern Ireland, envelops the very essence of Irish culture into his performances. Inspired by his grandmother, the late Sarah Makem, the great ballad tradition was instilled in him from boyhood. Sweeney carries with him an endless amount of songs, stories, poetry and tunes. His shows run the gamut of emotion, fun and Irish history. Another Hint, the entire family will be enthralled with Tom.

Driscoll School of Irish Dance

Driscoll School of Irish Dance. The Wee Ones will be dancing for us and showing us how Irish Dancing is done. And they will be teaching us about Irish Dance.

This group will make everyone in the family tap your toes and just smile.

The Fanzini Brothers

Guido and Ronaldo will make you laugh, loud and long. And you may see them in the park on a walkabout. Wow. They will delight young and old, so yet we have given you another act that everyone will love!

Barry Fitzgerald

Author, Storyteller, Ghost Hunter, Historian, that is some of what Barry brings to us with his fabulous tales. Is there a need to go on? I certainly don’t think so, we only have Barry for one show, you need to be there!

O'Riada-McCarty-Manning Academy of Irish Dance

O’Riada-McCarty-Manning dancers enjoy having many opportunities to perform throughout the city. In keeping with the Children’s Area theme, this innovative dance team will put Irish Dancing to Fairy Tales.
