Hailing from historic County Waterford, Danú is one of the leading traditional Irish ensembles of today. For over two decades, Danú’s virtuosi players on flute, tin whistle, fiddle, button accordion, bouzouki, and vocals (Irish and English), have performed around the globe and recorded seven critically acclaimed albums. Their live DVD, One Night Stand, was filmed at Vicar St. Dublin.
Christmas in Ireland is celebrated between Christmas Eve and Nollaig Na mBan or Women’s Christmas. On December 26, families in Ireland observe St. Stephen’s Day or Wren Day. Music, song, and dance are a vital part of joyous community celebrations across Ireland during the holiday season. An Emerald Isle Christmas offers a taste of these extraordinary and centuries old events. In addition to the amazing musicians of Danú, colorful Irish step-dancers will add to the festivities.
