AUCKLAND

Jameson, the world’s number one Irish Whiskey, triple distilled and twice as smooth, will play host this St. Patrick’s Day to the world’s first global party celebrating all-things Irish.

As the first country to start the celebrations, Kiwis will be leading the way at the St. Patrick’s Day Jameson Global Party, to be held at 1885 and The Britomart Country Club in Auckland, on Thursday 17th March.

Embrace your inner Irish spirit from 2pm, with a live George FM broadcast from Khan Hall. A bevy of musical acts and DJs will take to the stage throughout the day, with special guests including Pikachunes, Computers Want Me Dead, People of Paris, Cam Robertson and Tim Phin.

The party at 1885 and The Britomart Country Club will be filmed to capture the New Zealand St. Patrick’s Day spirit. Live event feeds will then be played at the Jameson distillery in Dublin, Ireland, together with footage from other countries to wrap up Jameson’s truly global party.

“As the first country in the world to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, we’re looking to kick off the Jameson Global Party in style and look forward to showcasing a fantastic music line-up, together with the opportunity to enjoy the perfect Jameson and Dry,” says Kathryn Love, Jameson senior brand manager.
In December 2010, Jameson Irish whiskey, announced annual sales of three million cases sold globally. As a result, Jameson further strengthened its position as the world’s leading Irish Whiskey.

Entry to the St. Patrick’s Day Jameson Global Party is free between 2-4pm on Thursday 17th March. After this time, tickets are $10 on the door or available from www.eventfinder.co.nz.
