Description

From their successful national PBS show, before a live audience The Celts perform a heart stirring combination of ancient and modern Christmas Carols featuring guest Irish singer Mauread Ni Mhaonaigh and Riverdance piper Ivan Goff.

Notes

To be distinguished from the studio recording, Christmas with The Celts Live! captures the electric energy from the actual
PBS taping before a live audience. The live recording includes 6 additional songs that are not on the studio release as well as an 8 piece group, The Gael String Orchestra and The Gaelic Children's Choir. Special guests Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh from the famous Irish group Altan and Riverdance piper Ivan Goff from Dublin are also featured on the live recording.

Christmas with The Celts Live is a huge production created by Irish American supergroup The Celts. The Celts perform ancient Irish and Scottish Christmas Carols some dating from as far back as the 12th century combined with modern Christmas carols we all know! Uilleann pipes, Irish whistle, Celtic fiddle, Irish Drums, Strings, haunting vocals and more!

“Christmas with The Celts Live!” is a timeless yet unique celebration. In describing the music singer/producer Ric Blair says, “I have tried to reflect this amalgamation of old and new in the music by using natural acoustic instruments such as uilleann pipes, celtic fiddle, Irish whistle, bodhran (irish drums), and combining them with modern electronic drum loops and some electronic keyboard sounds. We will also resurrected ancient Irish and Scottish Christmas carols that many today have never heard before and putting a modern sound to them. Then taking modern Christmas carols that everyone knows today and coloring them with ancient instrumentation. So, again taking the high tech world we live in today with it's luxuries and complex stresses and melding it with the simplicity, beauty and the musical reflection of the ancient Celtic world.”

“Christmas with The Celts Live!” is a perfect blend of the old and the new but with a very earthy warm fireside feel. Breathtaking, musicianship! Inspired performances!! You will laugh, you will cry, and you will celebrate like never before with the simplicity and the haunting beauty of Christmas with The Celts Live!. Christmas with The Celts Live! will provide the perfect background to celebrate Christmas with your family this year and for years to come.
