“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 bring young and old together to celebrate this special time of year”

Christmas with the Celts is a blend of ancient traditional Irish and Scottish Christmas Carols mixed with American Christmas favorites performed with Irish instrumentation including uilleann pipes, whistles, bodhran, fiddles and more.  Featuring 6 musicians, plus Irish dancing and narration of Christ’s birth told in the Scottish dialect by Laura McGhee from Dundee, Scotland.

The high-stepping spirited musical selections in Christmas with the Celts range from classic Irish reels that will have audiences clapping along, to some ancient hymns and lively renditions of popular contemporary Christmas classics:, ‘Silent Night’, ‘Little Drummer Boy’, ‘Count Your Blessings’, ’First Noel’, ‘I’m Dreaming Of A White Christmas’ and John Lennon’s perennial ‘Happy Christmas’.
