A West Cork Gathering of Food, Song & Dance at The Duncairn

Following on from last year’s roaring success of Sing for your Supper, Levis Corner House from Ballydehob returns to Belfast with another evening of communal tunes, traditional music, good grub, and a wee bit of Ceilí dancing.

There will be food — no one leaves the house hungry! — and, as tradition of the session demands, there will be plenty of singing and dancing too.

The evening begins with sharing platters celebrating West Cork’s finest produce — from Gubbeen cheeses and salamis to Durrus cheese and local artisan breads — a real taste of home.

Once the plates are cleared, the singing begins, led by renowned pianist and composer Maurice Seezer, everyone and anyone can get up and do their party piece. A little dessert later followed by the finest traditional musicians from West Cork to keep the tunes (and toes) tapping.

We’ll have a special guest from the Muscraí Gaeltacht on hand to guide you through a few steps for the ceilí mór before the night is out!

A Sit Down Dinner with A Musical Twist. 

Levis’ invites one of Ireland’s very best chefs  and our good neighbour; Michelin-starred Chef Robbie Krawczyk from Restaurant Chestnut in Ballydehob to serve up a very special set menu at The Duncairn Arts Centre in Belfast. This will be a unique opportunity to enjoy Krawczyk’s dishes which reflects the rich, seasonal produce of West Cork.

Not only this and most importantly , diners are also offered the opportunity to stand up and sing a song of their choice, with the best performer winning their own ‘Supper For Free’!  
This part of the evening may appear as  always optional, but with cajoling from the MC  Joe McNamee ( Irish Examiner Food Writer) and musical accompaniment from award winning composer and pianist Maurice Seezer, it is hard to resist pulling out a song or poem!

This long running event showcases West Cork’s vibrant  culinary and music scene, and we cannot wait to take it to the fantastic setting that is The Duncairn.
