A collective of some of Dublin's most legendary musicians under the name "The Group", who are mostly members of the Butler family, set about the task of recreating the two hour live show in honor of the original concert.
"The Last Waltz", was an outstanding rock documentary of the last concert by 'The Band'. Veteran director Martin Scorsese chronicles the most legendary night in rock history. It started as a concert and became a celebration as an unparalleled lineup of rock superstars -- including Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond and Muddy Waters -- take the stage for "The Band's" 1976 farewell performance.
With a cast and crew of over 30, an 11-piece band and full brass section, 13 amazing special guests, and archive footage on a giant screen, this spectacular live re-enactment of the 'The Last Waltz' is a must for all who love their music.

Brian Peters Promotions and Geesala Boxing Club presents: Katie Taylor - on the road to Rio.
Sun 24th March | Doors 5pm | €27.90 & €54.65
At a press launch on Monday 25th February at the Royal Theatre, the Bray woman announced that she will face her old rival Denista Eliseeva at the Royal Theatre, Castlebar on March 24th. Katie now sets her focus on the next two steps on the Road to Rio and her ultimate goal of becoming a two time Olympic Champion. Eliseeva remains the last boxer to have secured a victory over Taylor.
The two met in Eliseeva’s native Bulgaria back in February of 2011 in a multi nations tournament with Eliseeva awarded a controversial points win. Taylor and her Dad Pete were left baffled by the decision after what appeared to have been a clear cut win for the Irish woman. Taylor has since avenged the defeat and can now look forward to a meeting with Eliseeva on home soil when they clash at the Royal Theatre, Castlebar next month.
However Taylor’s Dad Pete insists it won’t be a revenge mission. “I hadn’t even told Katie about the opponents for March because she was just concentrating on last weekend. Whenever people say that she is the last girl to beat Katie I always correct them and say she was the last to get a decision over her because nobody outside of the judges thought that Katie lost that fight. Katie has avenged every defeat she’s ever had and she beat Eliseeva in the European Union championships later that same year but we’re looking forward to boxing her again in Ireland.”

Following her win in Dublin overnight Katie was in Castlebar on Monday 25th to meet fans and confirm details of next month bouts at the Royal Theatre. The 26-year-old says she’s excited at the prospect of another fight night at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre before heading west on the same weekend. “The reception I got last night was amazing and I’m so grateful for everyone who came out to support me. It felt like the Excel Arena in London all over again and it definitely spurs you on. The crowd can really lift you and you want to put on the best performance you can for them.”
Taylor hopes that the series of fights will inspire a whole new generation to follow in her footsteps and after last nights win over Klueners she stayed back to sign autographs and have countless pictures taken with fans. “I’d love to think I’m a good role model for kids,” said Taylor. “At the moment there are a lot of bad role models out there and they are often the ones getting on the front of the papers or magazines so it’s important to be a good role model for all these young kids and to set a good example for them so it’s something I take very seriously.
“Any sport is a great for kids, it’s a healthy lifestyle and they learn so much about themselves, its character building and a great way of life for any child.
Tickets for Katie Taylor’s upcoming bout at the Royal Theatre, Castlebar are available from 9AM TOMORROW at 094 9023111 or 0818 300 000 www.royaltheatre.ie or www.ticketmaster.ie

It’s unusual to have a festival atmosphere on a Monday night in a west of Ireland town in early February, but that was the case in Castlebar last week, when several large band trucks arrived into town that day and set up outside the Royal Theatre. The job of unloading stage equipment and instruments started early, and by 5pm all was in place for a magical ‘Night With The Stars’, hosted by Midwest Radio.
And shine brightly the stars did, to a capacity crowd, who cherished each performance – including some surprise guests. Midwest Radio general manager and MC on the night, Tommy Marren, praised the team at the Royal Theatre and stated "the night went very smoothly indeed and we are very lucky to have such a fine theatre in the west of Ireland, hats off to all the staff at the Royal". Said Donnacha Roche, theatre operations manager "we were proud to have hosted 'A Night with the Stars' again - to have so many different acts performing on the one night is very special – certainly it brings it's own challenges in terms of organisation but working with Midwest and the professionalism of each of the acts makes our job much easier”.
The night started with Amanda Ryan, competitor on Glór Tír. A performance followed by Gerry Guthrie and later Robert Mizzell, Crystal Swing and Mike Denver.
The second half started with Jimmy Buckley, with a surprise appearance from his 14-year old daughter Claudia, when they sang a duet. Jimmy said afterwards “I can’t tell you how proud it makes me, to have her perform on stage”.
The next surprise was Paul Claffey with his fine singing voice, followed by Conal Gallen, Ireland’s king of comedy, who sang 50 Shades of Grey.
The show continued with Patrick Feeney followed by Derek Ryan and Nathan Carter, and the show finished with John McNicholl.
Mike Denver appears at the Royal Theatre on Saturday 9th of March on his ‘10th Anniversary Concert’ tour, when he’ll be joined by special guests: Crystal Swing, Ray Lynam, Philomena Begley, Brendan Quinn, Gene Stewart, Big Chief and Kevin Prendergast.
Tickets are avilable from The Royal Theatre Box Office on 094 90 23111 or from Ticketmaster online or outlets nationwide.

Tickets €54.25 & €49.25. ON SALE AT 9AM FRIDAY!!
At every good-times gathering of joke-telling friends, invariably there’s always a joke told that belongs to this legend of comedy - a priceless one-liner, or one of his bizarre stories told in a Scottish accent.

After an apprenticeship as a welder in his hometown of Glasgow, he became a professional performer in 1962, forming ‘The Humblebums’ band with Gerry Rafferty, before pursuing a solo career as a comedian.

He has toured worldwide continuously for the last 50 years, performing to an audience of over 10,000,000, was awarded a CBE in 2003, was given the Freedom of the City of Glasgow in 2010 and received the BAFTA in Scotland Outstanding Contribution to Television and Film Award in 2012, and has established himself as both a sought-after character actor and an accomplished voice performer.
Best known for his moving performance as the loyal servant John Brown in the highly acclaimed Mrs Brown, Connolly’s many other film credits include Gulliver's Travels, The X-Files, Garfield 2 and The Impostors, as well as the acclaimed BBC production The Life and Crimes of Deacon Brodie. His voice is also featured on many animated films including Pocahontas and the Disney Pixar animation Brave. He has recently appeared in Quartet, directed by Dustin Hoffman, as well as J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit.
On television, he featured in Head Of Class, and his own series, Billy. He hosted Billy Connolly's World Tour Of Scotland, a six-part series travel documentary, a theme continued later in his World Tours of New Zealand, Australia and England, Ireland and Wales.

Ballet Ireland Presents: Cinderella - After The Ball. Choreography Morgann Runacre-Temple
Ever wondered what happened to Cinderella and Prince Charming after they got married? Well Ballet Ireland takes up the story when the pair return from their honeymoon!
Our Ballet starts after the Ball and the most famous incident of a lost shoe in history. We meet the not quite so 'happily ever after' Cinderella and Prince Charming. The ballet opens with hilarious scenes as Buttons and the 'Ugly Sisters' prepare for the homecoming of the couple. Home come the ultimate fairytale couple, struggling to overcome their different backgrounds and Cinderella's humble beginnings as she settles in to being a ‘Princess’. What Cinderella doesn't realise is that the Prince is bankrupt and he plans to auction off The Glass Slippers! Her fairy Godmother comes to the rescue once again and needless to say all's well that ends well and the pair truly are on the road to happily ever after. Michael Seaver of the Irish Times said; “Together with librettist Stuart Price, Runacre-Temple has created a cleaver and witty sequel that is full of snappy set pieces. There’s plenty of fizzle throughout. Cinderella, although new, will still appeal to audiences used to the classics.”
Tickets on sale soon from Ticketmaster outlets online & nationwide and from the Royal Theatre Box Office on 0818 300 000 or 094 90 23111.
