For more than four decades, The Irish Rovers have charmed and entertained audiences around the world with their exciting stage shows. Begun in Canada by immigrants from Northern Ireland, The Irish Rovers toured Canada before heading off to San Francisco and the famed folk club The Purple Onion, where they headlined for an unprecedented 22 sold-out weeks. Through the 1970's and early 80's, the Rovers brought their magic to television with a weekly series for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and later, another series in conjunction with Ulster Television in Ireland which was syndicated around the world. The Rovers soared to the top of the pop and country charts with "Wasn't That a Party".  Hot on the heels of that success, the band recorded "Grandma Got Run-Over By A Reindeer", which became an immediate seasonal anthem.
