David James - Sunday Night Dancing, Four Seasons Hotel

What to Expect

Sunday night dancing at the Four Seasons Hotel in Coolshannagh, on the northern edge of Monaghan town, is a long-standing fixture on the Irish country circuit, and David James is one of the acts the hotel runs it with. The next confirmed date is Sunday 25 October 2026, with music from 8pm through to 11:30pm. Tickets are €20 per person, paid on the door on the night, with no advance booking needed for the dancing itself.

This is a dance rather than a seated concert: a live set of Irish country standards and newer material, played to a floor where people actually dance. The Four Seasons runs these Sunday country nights across the year and the crowd is a mix of regulars who know each other and visitors in for the evening, which makes it an easy night to walk into on your own. The hotel also sells an overnight package for people travelling, combining the night with bed and breakfast at €179 per couple, booked direct through the hotel rather than on the door. The Monaghan Tourism calendar carries the series entry, so check it for further dates beyond October, as the line-up of acts rotates between David James and other country performers.
