Irish Christmas in America December 7, 2008

Now in its fourth year, 'Irish Christmas in America' returns to the USA this holiday season with some of Ireland's top young traditional artists, in a lively and fascinating presentation of Irish cultural traditions. 'Irish Christmas in America' is produced by Oisin Mac Diarmada of award-winning traditional Irish group Teada. Joining the tour this year are two of Ireland's leading female vocalists, Cara Dillon and Karan Casey. The cast also includes other Teada band members and narration. The Irish harp and pipes, from leading exponents Grainne Hambly and Tommy Martin, augment the exciting Irish dancing of newcomer Brian Cunningham.
