Rich in tradition and storytelling, Boys of the Lough’s "Celtic Christmas" mixes exemplary musicianship with traditional Scot and Irish folklore for an enchanting holiday performance.

The Boys’ technical brilliance and integrity combine with a ready wit and sense of fun. The music ranges widely through Ireland, and encompasses fiddle music of Shetland, Scotland and North America. It’s a dramatic showcase of compelling dance rhythms, evocative slow airs, and beautifully-structured songs, some in the Irish language. The Boys wow audiences with superior vocals, and mastery of fiddle, flute, guitar, tin whistle, button accordion, mandolin, cittern, and English concertina.

"One of the finest bands in Celtic traditional music."
