Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was an unbelievable show. I was not a particular fan of Irish dance or music but this was an amazing group of talented veteran as well as young performers. I could not recommend this more highly. It's across
the river but a nice walk or easy bus ride.

Wow what an evening - one I will never forget, and I will certainly be repeating the pleasure next year! Whether you're a novice to Irish music or it's in your bones - you will fall in love with this world-class showcase of the best of music, dance and song that is as powerful and exciting as it is soulful. As traditional as it is edgy and contemporary. All framed in a personal, intimate experience, with the dancers right in front of you within the audience and narration throughout the show by musician Chris Kelly, sharing his wit, warmth and wonderful stories. THANK YOU!

My girlfriend and I were enjoying a wonderful couple of weeks touring parts of the island of Ireland......when we stumbled across the show whilst in Galway
We booked for the same evening, this being the penultimate show of the season. - and how lucky we were!
What a performance, start to finish. All of the performers were of the highest quality, a truly first class ensemble
An outstanding production, including engaging repartee throughout
We shall surely look out for Trad on the Prom again when on our travels, a wonderful experience

These are world-class performers in their home town for the summer. These are the composers of the music in the big-name shows and they are incredible musicians. Dancers are the icing on the cake. A hidden gem!

The young guys blending traditional Irish dance with modern popular music really captured my interest. I’m going to share one of Cairde’s TikTok videos with everyone I know! The Irish bagpipes with its haunting sound was mesmerizing too. A great evening in Galway!

Would front row seats be too close in this theatre. ? I am worried that perhaps the stage would be too high ?

Hi there, the stage is somewhat elevated from front row seats in the centre section. It's great if you'd like a really close up view of the dancers footwork but if you require a more panoramic view I would suggest either front row on either left or right section (ground floor) or any of the seats within the tiers which are all elevated but not too far back. Hope this helps!

The premium seats indicate these seats receive priority queuing. I'm confused as to what that means. When buying seats are you buying a ticket for a particular seat or for just a section?

What's the best way to get to/from the show if staying in central Galway without a car?

Bus. Pick up the Salthill bus at Eyre Square in front of the AIB bank. Get off the bus at Upper Salthill Road. Leisureland, where the show is held, is a short walk away.

Is it worth the extra price to pay for the $59 premium seats? The others would be $34 and I wonder if they would be just fine?

The show is in a community centre hall and is very intimate and informal. You will easily find your seat and everything you need. Everyone is helpful and friendly if you do need to ask.
