Having seen Riverdance a couple of times previous i knew i would love this show & it did not disappoint. The music, dancing & the solo female singer had a voice of an angel. The talent throughout the show was amazing. Loved it from start to finish.

A rivetting performance by wonderful smiley people marred only by the fact that the couple next to us paid considerably less for their tickets.

I've seen Heartbeat of Home twice now and have loved every moment of this gorgeous show. The dancing throughout is simply breathtaking and a joy to watch. Also loved the six on-stage musicians, all so very talented. I hope the Company will return to London in the not-too-distant future and perform for us again. Truly brilliant!

Absolutely amazing dancing. Enjoyed the whole show. Would go and see it again. It would have been even better if I had a programme to explain the story. That’s why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.

Show was incredible. As someone who has an interest in both dance and Music it was amazing to see the various rhythms used for different styles of dance. Also to see that the band on stage were so involved in the actual production.

We really enjoyed it. Having seen Riverdance before & loving it. This was a bit different as there were more styles of dance in it. Of course plenty of the amazing toe tapping Irish dancing, but also some Flamenco & Latin as well. HIGHLY Recommend.

The musicians and dancers were simply SUPERB. To think they can generate such athleticism and enthusiasm show after show is a credit to them. I saw it advertised on the one show SO GLAD I DID If I were young again I would learn Irish dancing for sure. Thank you for such an inspiring night.
