On Friday 20 January, Dinner Jacket Productions present Musical Toast with David Martin (tenor), Jonathan Carter (baritone) and Sinead Conway (soprano) who return to Birr with a new programme which promises to give the audience a cross-section of genres and styles from classic opera to musical theatre with a mix of humour and fun.
