At The Ardhowen · Dublin Road, Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh
Made in Tennessee is a touring country show from Soul Street Productions that runs the genre chronologically rather than sticking to one act. The billed material starts with the classics from Johnny, June, Dolly and Hank, moves through the stadium era with Garth Brooks and Carrie Underwood, and lands on the current generation with Kacey Musgraves and Chris Stapleton. That span is the point of the show: it treats country as a continuous line rather than a nostalgia set.
The performers are a band of UK country musicians, with individual names not published on the Ardhowen listing. Enniskillen is a reliable country town and the Ardhowen programmes several country nights across each season, so the audience for this one knows the repertoire. A smoke or haze machine is used during the performance.
The Ardhowen is on the Dublin Road at the southern edge of Enniskillen, above the shore of Lough Erne, with a free car park at the venue. From Dublin and Cavan the run is the A509 to Belturbet then the A4 into town, from Belfast it is the M1 and A4, and Omagh traffic comes down the A32. Enniskillen bus station on Wellington Road is the main public transport point for Ulsterbus and Bus Eireann, including the Dublin service, and taxis from the station to the theatre take a few minutes. A midweek show usually means an easier run at parking than a Friday or Saturday, but the car park still fills close to curtain-up.
