Absolutely Legless

Absolutely Legless, a traditional Irish Dance Group based in Edinburgh is performing on your doorstep in May. This vibrant group of over 25 dancers and musicians has developed a reputation for exciting and innovative performances throughout the world.

Inspired by the Irish hard and soft shoe traditions, Absolutely Legless perform original dances in a relaxed and informal manner while remaining faithful to their roots. The dancers combine the grace of the soft shoes with the power and rhythmic precision of the hard shoes to provide a truly exhilarating experience.

This approach is reflected in the music from the band, which seamlessly weaves the evocative melodies and driving rhythms of Irish dance music. The unique line-up of fiddles, flutes and guitar play new arrangements of traditional and original airs, jigs and reels.

This combination of the energy of the dancers and Celtic rhythms of the band entertains audiences every time and Absolutely Legless are well-received wherever they appear.

The group have just returned from 2 major international festivals in Montignac (France) and Jaca (Spain) where they performed alongside dancers and musicians from as far afield as Colombia and Costa Rica. Other tours have included Hungary, Sicily, Turkey and Poland, and earlier this year the group appeared on BBC’s Tonight’s the Night.
