“The hottest group in the Celtic realm!”---The Boston Globe

“Altan...under no circumstances should they be missed in concert”Irish Echo

Imagine the Carlisle Theatre stage could possibly be graced with one of the most influential and honored Irish Celtic bands the week of St Patrick’s Day?   The dream is over, as Altan, who have played their music in some of the most prestigious venues in the world; The Sydney Opera House, The Hollywood Bowl, The Royal Albert Hall, The Alte Opera Frankfurt, The White House and can now add the Historical Carlisle Theatre to their resume.

Over 25 years of playing together, Altan have established themselves as one of the most important live acts to play traditional Irish music in Ireland and on the World stage.  Altan have toured all over the USA, Asia, and Europe.  During that time they have earned international acclaim.  The Chicago Weekly stated that “Altan are thought to be by many , the finest traditional Irish combo working today, seamlessly blend dazzling instrumental prowess and the gorgeously delicate vocals of Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh!"  

They were the first traditional Irish group to sign with a major record label thus insuring their name and music to spread worldwide while paving the way for so many other up and coming Irish bands.  They have won several prestigious  “Celtic/British Isles Album of the Year” awards from the National Association of Independent Record Distributors and Manufacturers (NAIRD).  In 2006, the Irish government honored the band by putting them on an official Irish postage stamp, one of the highest honors bestowed upon any living artist in Ireland (the only others honored in this set of four stamps were The Chieftains, The Dubliners and Makem and Clancy).

If you want to get a true sense of what Irish music is all about then be sure to see these Irish lads and lass for a special St. Patrick’s Treat!  Can’t you taste the Guiness already?
