The Legacy

The Emerald Isle was once a welcoming place, full of fun, peace and tranquillity. However, it was torn apart after years of clan fighting which had left Ireland in complete turmoil. The Murphys, residents of the once beautiful land were in search of a new home, to escape all of the hurt and bad memories. Little did they know their new home, Ishan, was not a welcoming place.

Murphy’s Legacy is a dark yet inspiring tale of courageousness and loss. How far would you go, to save the ones you love? What would you sacrifice, in order to finally achieve peace? These are tough questions that nobody ever wants to face, but when examined, make for extraordinary viewing.

Despite its origins, Murphy’s Legacy spiritually lies in the North East of England. Show creator Chris Hannon, a former male lead in ‘Lord of The Dance’ and co-owner of the internationally recognised North East based ‘Hannon Murphy School of Irish Dancing’, joins forces with worldwide dance sensations US based Zach Klingenberg, fellow former female lead Katrina Hesketh and dance champion Kaila-Lee McManus to bring you what is sure to be a new Irish Dance global phenomenon.

Don’t blink, for this is no ordinary Irish Dance performance, it is a battle of styles, a clash of colours. Murphy’s strong cast give an invigorating performance of traditional Irish Dance, with dark cinematic undertones, creating a show like no other.

This is Irish Dance reborn.


The Story Behind The Story

Behind every great stage production there is an equally enticing story of inspiration and imagination. The Murphy’s Legacy project is one which has been building and developing for Chris Hannon the show creator throughout his whole life…

After spending 13 years in the world renowned ‘Lord of the Dance’ show, Chris always had the desire to find the very best dancers and choreograph a show himself. His biggest inspiration, and the name behind Murphy’s Legacy, comes from Chris’s grandmother Patricia Livingstone, who not only taught Chris to dance as a young boy, but also put Irish Dancing firmly on the map in the North East of England. Music and dance were a huge part of Patricia’s life and her talent was passed down to her daughter Kathleen, and together they have built up one of the most successful dance schools in the region – the ‘Hannon Murphy School of Irish Dancing’. Immersed in this dance background, and lucky enough to work with such a wonderful mix of teachers and fellow dancers, Chris’s dream of producing and choreographing a new Irish Dance show flourished.

After producing four pilot shows throughout 2013, Chris knew that the time was finally right – and now with the best team of people behind him – Murphy’s Legacy could truly become a huge hit. After a chance meeting late last year with John Elliott, an international artist and musical composer and an introduction to music business expert Andrew Archer, both co-owners at Loft Music, the project came together with full momentum. With new musical compositions from Loft, world-class dance choreography from a hybrid of US and UK origins, the heart and desire from Chris, not to mention the fantastic cast of internationally prestigious dancers and musicians, Murphy’s Legacy is set to blow the roof off its world premiere venue Sage Gateshead on the 31st January 2015 and succeed in many venues around the world for years to come.

It's just a crack in the screen...... Not my usual kind of blog post. The smartphone has become part of everyday life. For a business like mine it had opened up new avenues to spread the word about my clients as a PR. I found some of these shut suddenly when my phone hurtled to the kitchen floor. Just a cracked screen. I worried the phone may cost a fortune to fix, but got similar quotes from about 3 people and so when one of them called back promising a 48 hr turnaraound, and 6 months warranty, I thought, I could trust the friendly voice of "John" at the other end of the line. The UPS driver arrived within 10 minutes and my phone was in a padded envelope off to Elite Phones And Computers in Manchester. This was a mistake. I hadn't checked the reviews online, something I always do, and warn other when I find the bad ones.  I sent the phone on Friday and on Monday checked on progress, using the on-site messaging service the company prefers to use instead of ema...

The Stagg Do 5 years in the making, written by an American (James DeMarco) , about Geordies, starring Geordies, with Geordie music and with a premiere screened on Westgate Road at the O2 Academy, this was truly a local affair. The story, about a camping trip involving a groom, his best man and his mates takes a turn for the uncomfortable when the father-in-law to be joins the group. Staggy, played by Andrew Stagg is being chaperoned by his fiancee's (Charlotte, played by Therase Neve) father, "The Judge". Daddy-in-law to be, is played by Bill Fellows, a familiar face on many TV series and films. This scuppers the plans of best-man Pob, and pals Si (Simon Buglass) and Radgy (Craig Conway), who really wanted the trip to evolve into a "beer and titties" extravaganza. Much silliness, drug references, the funny things that can happen, in the dark, in the Northumberland countryside add up to an enjoyable romp enhanced greatly by a fabulous soundtrack provided ent...

Live Review:  Gary Lucas at The Cluny, Newcastle Still buzzing from a standing ovation in Liverpool the night before, Gary opened the show with a cover: I Remember .The rich sound came from his “distressed” acoustic guitar which he claimed was older than him .  Gary filled in between songs with history and amazing anecdotes. He was an anglophile in New York.  He studied at Yale. He loved the Move. He reminisced about John peel breaking Beefheart in U.K.  He saw Beefheart in New York. Interviewed Don Van Vliet for student radio whilst majoring in English Literature. Beefheart was bigger in Europe and Australia rather than in the US, but he knew then he wanted to perform with them. The next song was on electric. Evening Bell was a finger-picking  master class. He’s kept the explosive, disjointed quality of the song as he was instructed to play it all those years ago.  He talked about working as record company advertising executive....
