Clear the stage and hide the good furniture – it's The Thatch Tenors!!
This crew has promised music, moves, and maybe even a bit of magic… though no guarantees on the quality of any of the above.
First up is Danny from Castleroberts, an engineer who swears he can fix anything… except his dance skills. He loves music, TV, and hurling, and while he’s no stranger to the dance floor, the general consensus is that he should probably stay a stranger. The choreographer has been warned – she’ll need both patience and insurance.
Then there’s PJ – or as he’d say, “Is mise PJ.” An Adare man since ’93, he’s a teacher of Maths and AEN, a fan of local history tales, and a dreamer with Machu Picchu on his bucket list. When he’s not teaching or planning expeditions, he can be found along the Wild Atlantic or belting out 80’s classics. He also claims the Village Fayre’s bread is life-changing – but we’ll let you be the judge.
Next up is Frank the Plumber – the man you call when the pipes are leaking or, in this case, when the performance needs unblocking. Known for his quick wit and steady hands, Frank swears he’s only here to keep Danny and PJ in line, but don’t be fooled. If there’s a chance to steal the limelight, he’ll be there, plunger in one hand and microphone in the other.
And finally, making sure no stage roof goes untested, we have The Fitzpatrick Twins – David and Andrew.
Towering at 6 foot 4, these lads bring a definite bit of gentry to proceedings, they like the finer things in life and are rarely spotted in anything other than their trademark pink shirts and jeans. The real challenge here won’t be the choreography, it’ll be convincing them to wear something a little more revealing than their usual country-club attire. They’ve plenty of skills with their hands behind the bar, but whether those talents translate to their feet is another story entirely, let’s just say if dancing were a fine wine, the Fitzpatrick twins would be serving you a bottle that’s been corked.
Put them all together and you’ve got The Thatch Tenors – though with five of them, it’s starting to look more like The Thatch Choir! A group with questionable rhythm, suspicious confidence, and just enough charm to get away with it. Whatever happens, one thing’s for sure: you won’t forget it in a hurry!
