Funny Fair City Voice Overs was created in February 2007 by 2 brothers from Dublin who prior to doing this we done many other voice overs back in 1997. which you can also see here on YouTube including Paint your wagon and Cabbage ect.

in 2007 we were spotted by an irish production company who wanted to work with us but later took it no further due to a bigger project that came their way. Then in 2009 we were invited into Filmbase in Temple Bar to showcase our work which was displayed to over 1000+ people at the Synth Eastwood Live Show.

Funny Fair City is 2 brothers taking the piss out of the original popular irish tv drama. No offence is intended towards any of the real actors in the voice overs so its not to be taken seriousley.

Some details about the real show now
Fair City is an award-winning soap opera on the Irish television channel RTÉ One. Produced by Radio Telefís Éireann, it was first broadcast on Monday, September 18, 1989. Plots centre on the the domestic and professional lives of the residents of Carrigstown, a fictional suburb on the north side of Dublin.

Originally aired as two half-hour episodes per week, from September to May, it is now broadcast year round in four episodes per week. It is the most popular Irish soap opera, and the longest running.

As it approaches its twentieth anniversary, Fair City has established itself as a permanent part of the Irish cultural landscape. Viewing figures of between 500,000 and 600,000 make it, by a considerable margin, the most watched drama in the country.[1] Its major characters have become household names, and a recent upsurge in quality has seen the programme win for the first time, and subsequently retain, the prestigious TV Now Award for Best Soap

Setting
Fair City is set in Carrigstown, a fictional suburb of Northside Dublin. Many of the scenes take place around the main street in Carrigstown, with notable landmarks on the street including McCoys pub, Phelan's corner shop formerly Doyle's, The Hungry Pig diner formerly The Bistro and Vino's Tapas Bar formerly Rainbows Sandwich Bar. Other notable settings include the Acorn Cabs dispatch centre, the office of the Northside Post newspaper and the Helping Hand charity shop.

Fair City occasionally makes use of real Dublin locations. Sequences have been shot in the Natural History Museum, on Grafton Street, during the Dublin City Marathon, and more recently in Abrakebabra and on the LUAS.

The series was originally focused on four families: the O'Hanlons, the Kellys, the Clarkes and the Corcorans. This was similar to the British soap EastEnders, which also originally focused on a number of families and the community in which they lived. Over time the emphasis has moved away from the four families and grown to include the wider community of Carrigstown.

Characters
During the 1990s the Phelan, Doyle, and Molloy families were introduced and dominated storylines for that decade. Bela and Rita Doyle, along with their brood of five children and Rita's mother Hannah, were involved in many stories. The Phelan family originally consisted of Hughie and Natalie, but later a new branch of the family arrived including Hughie's mother Eunice, and his brother Christy, along with Christy's wife Renee, and their two children Floyd and Farrah. The Molloy family was introduced in the mid-1990s and consisted of patriarch Harry, his wife Dolores, and their two teenage children Wayne and Lorraine.

The Halpin family was gradually introduced in the early 2000s, but since then the show's focus has shifted to individual characters more than family groupings. Notable characters introduced subsequently include Carol Meehan, Tracey Kavanagh, Ray O'Connell, and Jo Fahey. Another change in recent years has been the introduction of ethnic minority characters such as Lana Dowling (née Borodin) and the Udenze family. However, the Udenzes moved back to England after the father Gabriel was burnt to death in a fire, and Lana Dowling was kidnapped and murdered.

Former executive producer Niall Mathews believes the soap's success is due to the large cast and the fact that no single character or group of characters dominates. "Difficulties are inherent if you are dealing with just one family," he says. "Look at Dallas and Dynasty; both did well at the beginning, but because all the action was centred on a single family, the writers ran out of things to say."
