The return of Kilkenny Seanchaí after a sold out show in 2023 - early booking advised!

Without doubt, a master storyteller, a joy to watch, a memory that lingers, Jim Maher is one of the finest and most popular entertainers in his class.

Traditional roguery of the sort that makes us long for those by-gone days of fun and mirth …. where laughter was heard and cherished at every hearth, every ditch and gate post …. Jim Maher takes us back in time …. to the world of storytelling where authenticity is the order of the day. His stories remind us of what is in us all …. a roguish sense of humour, a taste for life…. 

The beat of the bodhrán, the glint in the eye, the narrative perfection. All of these are hits. to share with us, to rock us back in time with tear-faced hilarity. Through Jim’s delivery we see ourselves, as a people, unique in heritage, proud of our gift “to tell it as it really happened.”

From very early on Jim has had a fascination for things “Cultural and Humorous”. In all of his shows, both of these features are incorporated in a very unique and entertaining way. Jim’s act, which combines traditional music with master storytelling, has been entertaining audiences both at home and abroad for many years now (“From Fermoy to Philadelphia”, as Gay Byrne put it!)
