First, there was Riverdance, then Celtic Woman, now the popular PBS Pledge show Christmas with The Celts is touring across the U.S.! The Celts mix lively traditional Irish music and instrumentation with American pop music and their own originals along with ancient Irish and Scottish carols and traditional Christmas favorites. The Celts lineup stars, Ric Blair on vocal-guitar-bodhran & piano along with the lovely Laura McGhee from Dundee Scotland on vocal and fiddle complemented by an array of top-flight musicians on uilleann pipes, Irish whistles, fiddle, bodhran, banjo, five-string bass, drums and of course, the crowd-pleasing Irish dancers.
Christmas with The Celts isn’t just a concert; it is a celebration of the holiday spirit, people, community and common connections. It’s about bringing young and old together to celebrate this special time of year. You can’t listen to Celtic-flavored music and not be happy.
