Concert!: 981-1475 If you attended the Irish Christmas in America show in
2005, you received a special treat. You heard great traditional Irish
music by the group Teada and special guests Tommy Martin (uilleann pipes),
Grainne Hambly (harp), Cathie Ryan (vocals), and local Irish dancers Kari
Barton and Kristen Donnelly. Now you have an opportunity to see the show
again, but now the show is better than ever! Teada will still be performing
with Tommy and Grainne. On vocals will be Danu’s Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh,
one of Ireland’s leading female vocalists. Dancing this year will
be Abbey Magill and Sienna Hickey, championship level Irish dancers. You
really do not want to miss this great opportunity to experience ancient
Irish traditions with the contemporary artistry of some of Ireland’s
finest performers. This show will bring the spirit of Christmas on a distinctively
Irish journey. The show last year was performed in front of numerous sold-out
audiences on the East coast "Best Traditional Newcomers" -Irish Music Magazine  "Teada emerges as one of the most exciting traditional young Irish bands, featuring an All Ireland Fiddle Champion. Téada, which means "strings" in the Irish language, prove their namesake on fiddle, guitar, bouzouki, concertina, accordion and bodhran. The Irish Voice reports, "this is a band to watch out for."
