LOVE TO FOLKPrime

Big Acts, Up Close

For more than three decades, Cape Breton-based family group the Barra MacNeils have been thrilling audiences of all ages, near and far, with their sparkling repertoire, vocals, instrumental prowess and vibrant showmanship.

The MacNeil siblings are widely regarded as one of the greatest live concert acts in the Celtic world. Hailing from Sydney Mines, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, the family group is deeply rooted in Celtic music, culture, dance, language and history. Their numerous critically acclaimed recordings have included their own original songs as well as tried and true standards, both instrumental and vocal.

Their live concert experience brings so much more to the stage than most live acts ever can. Multiple lead vocalists, beautiful sibling harmonies, top drawer instrumental prowess on a wide variety of acoustic, stringed, percussion and wind instruments blended with dancing, storytelling, Gaelic songs and a journey through an ancient culture; it is family entertainment at its highest level.

Steeped in Cape Breton tradition with strong Celtic roots and musical artistry, this diverse and talented family group continues to wow audiences around the world with their captivating vocals, harmonies and extraordinary musicianship.

LOVE TO FOLKPrime
Big Acts, Up Close

Depuis plus de trois décennies, le groupe familial Barra MacNeils, basé au Cap-Breton, enchante les publics de tous âges, d'ici et d'ailleurs, grâce à son répertoire étincelant, ses voix, ses prouesses instrumentales et son sens du spectacle vibrant.

Les frères et sœurs MacNeil sont largement considérés comme l'un des meilleurs groupes de musique celtique au monde. Originaire de Sydney Mines, sur l'île du Cap-Breton, en Nouvelle-Écosse, ce groupe familial est profondément ancré dans la musique, la culture, la danse, la langue et l'histoire celtiques. Leurs nombreux enregistrements acclamés par la critique comprennent leurs propres chansons originales ainsi que des standards éprouvés, tant instrumentaux que vocaux.

Leurs concerts apportent à la scène bien plus que la plupart des groupes live. Plusieurs chanteurs principaux, de magnifiques harmonies entre frères et sœurs, une maîtrise instrumentale de premier ordre sur une grande variété d'instruments acoustiques, à cordes, à percussion et à vent, le tout mélangé à de la danse, des contes, des chansons gaéliques et un voyage à travers une culture ancienne : c'est du divertissement familial à son plus haut niveau.

Imprégné de la tradition du Cap-Breton, avec de solides racines celtiques et un grand talent musical, ce groupe familial diversifié et talentueux continue d'émerveiller le public du monde entier avec ses voix captivantes, ses harmonies et son extraordinaire maîtrise musicale.
