Forum Waterford, The Glen, Waterford City is one of South East Ireland's premier entertainment venues. The premises originally opened as 'The Regal' in 1937 and operated as a 1,500 seated cinema up to the 70's, after which bingo became its mainstay. Purchased by a local company, Coherent Enterprises Ltd, it was extensively refurbished during the second half of the 80's and was transformed into a 1,200 seated modern concert hall, which opened as 'The Forum' in 1990. The following decade it played host to the top touring acts including: Johnny Cash, The Corrs, David Gray, Van Morrison, Christy Moore, Billy Connolly, and many more.

During the millennium year major renovations again took place with Forum Waterford that created a multi-purpose venue downstairs and a separate theatre space upstairs, with the aim of the premises being more versatile. Late Club nights were added to the regular shows and bingo sessions there. A third renovation programme was undertaken by Coherent Enterprises Ltd in 2006/7 which saw the installation of a full kitchen downstairs to add food to the drink and entertainment elements of the business and downstairs was converted into a fine dining 160 seated restaurant with a small stage. The upstairs venue was then solely used for the bingo sessions, live shows and club nights. Due to the economic downturn in 2008 the restaurant ceased trading and that space is currently being used as a venue for a comedy club and private parties. Catering to both young and old, Forum Waterford offers diverse entertainment weekly and it has been host to the very best of Irish and International Musicians, DJ's, Comedians, Theatrical Productions as well as running weekly bingo sessions and its resident Saturday late night Indie club, 'Traffik'. Coherent Enterprises Ltd. is owned and operated by its directors, Ciaran O'Neill (Managing) and Siobhan O'Neill. ==External links== * http://www.forumwaterford.com. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Forum Waterford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
