The powerhouse quintet with extraordinary on stage chemistry captures the pure, true essence of traditional Irish folk music. Their rendition of timeless Irish classics, expose the heart and the soul of generations of their Irish ancestors. Many of these tales of good times and bad, of Irish history and their heroes cannot be found in books, but remain only in song. The Brothers honor the beloved Irish folk classics while adding their own slight touches and mix in their Christmas favorites. Join the "best Irish folk band in the world"…the bonded Brothers, Shane, Conor & Rory Makem and Mick & Liam Spain, for an exceptional evening of entertainment.

In 1966 legendary singer/songwriter/storyteller Tommy Makem and his young family settled in Dover NH joining many of their relatives, who, when times were tough in Ireland, immigrated to the U.S. to work in area mills. Shane, Conor, Rory and sister Katie as teenagers outwardly answered the call typical of their generation…rock and roll. But, held inwardly, the undeniable inherent gifts of Tommy Makem and of Makem matriarch Sarah awakened during the brothers’ college years. The sons of Tommy carry on a tradition born into to them...telling, through song, the stories of their Irish heritage with its roots in the ancient County of Armagh.

Years ago, Michael Spain introduced his brand of music, Irish folk songs, to bars and clubs in Manchester NH. He transferred his love for the songs of Tommy Makem to his sons Mick and Liam. When the Makems met the Spains, the connection was strong. The Brothers soon joined together to form an Irish folk band, rich in harmonies and unmatched in musical talent. Among the five, there is a mastery of a dizzying number of instruments; guitar, five string banjo, tenor banjo, bouzouki, mandolin, octave mandolin, bass, flute, concertina, bodhran, whistle, harmonica and keyboard. The ultimate traditional Irish folk band playing in the world today is the Makem and Spain Brothers.

This show is sponsored in part by Eastern Propane & Oil, L.Wynn Sound, Citadel Broadcasting Corporation and Bernier Insurance. Reserve tickets online at or call/stop by the box office (603) 335-1992, M/W/F from 10-5. The Rochester Opera House is located in City Hall, 31 Wakefield Street, Rochester NH.
