Presented by Peterborough Canadian Irish Club
A Colourful and Exciting Show of Irish Traditional Music, Song Dance and Humour
Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann’s Echoes of Erin Concert Tour of North America has been staging top-class shows of traditional Irish music, song, dance and entertainment for over four decades. The 2014 concert tour brings current and former All-Ireland champions and experienced performers to upwards of 10 venues all over Canada, with each venue already reporting a high interest in ticket sales.
This fast-moving show merges the most soulful of detailed solo artistry with lighter ensemble music while the dancers step it out to a wide variety of rhythms. Traditional songs of Ireland and the Diaspora tell the story of the Gael in both sombre and joyous mood. Fear A’ Tí Dic Béimis once again brings his much lauded style of wit, humour, and narrative to the stage.
