SUMMARY:Barra MacNeils East Coast Christmas 25th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:Kyle (vocals\, guitar\, violin\, mandolin)\, Lucy (vocals\, bodhran\, Celtic harp\, fiddle\, stepdancing)\, Sheumas (keyboards\, piano\, bodhran\, fiddle\, bouzouki\, vocals)\, Stewart (vocals\, accordion\, tin whistle\, flute\, bouzouki\, guitar\, stepdancing)\, Boyd (mandolin\, fiddle\, guitar\, banjo\, percussion\, stepdancing) and Jamie Gatti (bass). \nIn 2014\, Sydney Mines\, Cape Breton Island-based family group the Barra MacNeils celebrated 27 years of an outstanding recording and touring career. \n2012 featured Live In Concert symphony project recorded in Halifax’s Rebecca Cohn Auditorium over two nights with Symphony Nova Scotia and a special Celtic Colours recording project featuring a wide variety of musical guests from the folk\, Americana and Celtic music worlds.  In December\, 2013\, the group released a third Christmas recording: O Christmas Three supported by another run in their annual seasonal Christmas tours. \nOther recent releases have covered the span of their entire career\, as well as live concerts reflecting the musical course of their career\, from humble family beginnings to worldwide acclaim. The concert touring in support of these projects has taken the group to theatre and festival stages coast to coast across Canada\, had them jetting across America from festival stage to theatre stages and beyond\, as well as sending them to Ireland and Scotland for prestigious events across the Atlantic. \nAs a group\, 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. \nThe Barra MacNeils 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. \nSteeped 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. \nMulti-award winners\, the Barra MacNeils have released no less than 17 recordings  including: O Christmas Three (2013)\, The Celtic Colours Sessions (2012)\, Live in Concert with Symphony Nova Scotia (2012)\, In Concert (2009)\, In Session (2009)\, 20th Anniversary Collection (2007)\, Christmas Album II (2006)\, All At Once (2005)\, Racket In the Attic (2002)\, Christmas Album (1999)\, Until Now (1997)\, The Question(1995)\, The Traditional Album (1994)\, Closer to Paradise (1993 – Certified Gold in Canada)\, Timeframe (1990)\, Rock in the Stream (1989)\, The Barra MacNeils (1986). In 2001\, they released a DVD titled Cape Breton Christmas incorporating music from their live Christmas Concert Special (as seen on television)\, plus a visit to Cape Breton\, interviews with the Barra MacNeils home at Christmas and music videos. \nCanada’s Celtic ambassadors\, the Barra MacNeils continue to perform to sold out audiences throughout Canada\, the United States\, the Caribbean\, the United Kingdom and Europe. From headlining major festivals\, concerts\, special guest appearances (Rita MacNeils CTV Christmas Special\, performing with The Chieftains) television specials\, film and television placement (Men with Brooms Soundtrack; Racket In The Attic) and their annual Christmas tour\, they have set the course with a solid foundation for success. The Barra MacNeils one-hour Christmas Television Special (2000) continues to be broadcast on Country Music Television (CMT) and on the Public Broadcasting Services (PBS) network in the United States. December 2007 saw the broadcast of a new Christmas Special which will no doubt also become part of the holiday season for years to come. \nThe Barra MacNeils continues to do what they love to do best\, and that is playing their music for the fans. This incredibly talented family group tours Canada\, the US and Europe to spread their distinctive brand of Celtic music worldwide.
