A Beginner’s Guide to Waterford
By Michelle Clancy

Entertainment
World famous for its singers, Waterford is the birthplace of William Vincent Wallace (The Maritana), Val Doonican and Gilbert O’Sullivan. This entertainment tradition is upheld in the city today, from organised events and gigs to impromptu music sessions in the city’s pubs.

The Waterford Show, held Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday is an evening of Irish music, story, song and dance in the historical setting of Waterford’s City Hall. Wearing period costume, the cast tells the story of Waterford, its heritage, culture and even its sense of humour.

In recent years, Waterford has become a veritable melee of summer festivals. Waterford Spraoi turns the city into one gigantic street party over the August Bank Holiday weekend. Spraoi originated in 1993 as a one-day event and has now become a three-day mix of international music, street theatre and performance. The parade on the Sunday night, the company’s own production, is now regarded as the highlight of the festival, involving over 400 brilliantly costumed performers, giant props and floats, pyros, lights and special effects. The 1999 parade was watched by an estimated audience of 50,000.

Other events to watch out for during the summer months include Trafest, a three-day music festival in Tramore in July and the annual Tramore Races in August.

Meanwhile Waterford International Festival of Light Opera, held at the Theatre Royal in September, attracts virtuosos from Ireland and abroad, as well as a regular audience of opera lovers.

A real pub in the heart of the town. An eclectic line-up of live music every week, of the generally loud variety.

Go and find out for yourself, but not too many at the same time please. Queen Street, Tramore, Co. Waterford Telephone: 051-381671

Westown, Tramore, Co. Waterford Telephone: 051-381496

The Esquire

The Esquire has been serving good food for a number of years. Situated in the town’s center, its claim of being the worlds most famous restaurant is perhaps slightly exaggerated, but hey, it does serve decent food, at a decent price, with more than enough bric-a-brac to keep the most inquisitive appeased for a while.

Summerhill, Tramore, Co. Waterford. Telephone: 051-381326

Croke’s

With Micheal perhaps snoozing in the chair, you will be safe in the knowledge that Osama Bin Laden is looking over you from an old FBI wanted poster hanging over the piano, which is on the wall near the door out to the back yard which you pass through on the way out to the toilet. Beat that. Market Street, Trmaore, Co. Waterford Telephone: 051-381010

One of Tramore’s finest restaurants. It offers a relatively standard menu, but more than makes up for this with excellent produce consistently cooked just right.
