Christmas With The Celts return for two performances at the Playhouse! This family favorite holiday show is a wonderful combination of timeless Irish Christmas Carols, lively Irish Dance, and contemporary songs performed with Irish instrumentation. Each year, the Celts add new Christmas hits, Celts originals, and fresh Irish Dance tunes so that no performance is the same.
Christmas with the Celts was first seen as a PBS-TV special and since then, the show has grown into a unique blend of modern Christmas standards with the spirit and sounds of Celtic roots. You’ll hear Christmas classics like “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “Little Drummer Boy,” “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” and John Lennon’s “Happy Christmas” along with traditional Irish music and instrumentation. The Celts lineup stars Emerald Rae (vocals, fiddle), Patrick D’Arcy (U2, Sting, Josh Groban) from Dublin on Uilleann pipes (bagpipes), Ric Blair (vocals, guitar, bodhran) -Irish whistles, bass, drums and of course, the lively Irish dancers.
