The story of the Irish Rovers starts in
Canada in 1963, when 16-year old George Millar and 23-year old Jim Ferguson, both new emigrants from
Northern Ireland, met in
Toronto at an Irish function. They ended up singing together 'til dawn; and so the Irish Rovers were launched. George’s cousin Joe and brother Will soon joined them in
Canada and they headed out on the open road. The Irish Rovers would soon bring their musical magic to television with a weekly show on CBC singing hits like “Rolling Home to
Ireland”. Almost fifty years later, the Irish Rovers are still passionate about performing and continue to tour and entertain their legions of fans. Like “The Unicorn”, one of their most famous songs, the Rovers are legendary and magical, and a good time is guaranteed for all. Now “Wasn’t that a Party?”
