Cara O’Sullivan and Anthony Kearns did solo performances and combined with 50 piece orchestra for Brindisi while violinist Fionnuala Hunt and Finghin Collins also performed individually and together – Finghin Collins’s Flight of the Bumble Bee was “a master class in letting the music talk for itself” (The Irish Times).

Colm Wilkinson whose performances of Bring Him Home, Music of the Night and The House of the Rising Sun brought the house down and shows he is still one of the most successful Irish musical exports. A host of new arrangements are on this box set and all artists were accompanied by the Orchestra of the National Concert Hall which was conducted by David Brophy and the show was hosted by Ryan Tubridy.
