The Barra MacNeils, a legendary Celtic musical group, who have traveled extensively for nearly three decades, will bring their music to Weyburn. The Weyburn Concert Series is pleased to present this reknown group to perform at the Cugnet Centre on April 9 at 7:30 p.m.
The native Cape Breton group has deep roots in Celtic music, culture, dance, language and history. The MacNeils consist of 6 siblings: Kyle, Lucy, Sheumas, Stewart, Boyd and Jamie Gatti. As a group, the MacNeil siblings are widely regarded as one of the greatest live "Celtic" concerts in the word. The live concert experience brings more to the stage than most typical live acts. The group can boast multiple lead vocalists, beautiful sibling harmonies, dancing, storytelling and experience on a wide range of instruments. The family has experience with instruments such as the Celtic harp, guitar, violin, mandolin, keyboards, piano, fiddle, banjo and many more less known instruments such as the tin whistle.
The MacNeils performance includes numerous critically acclaimed recordings of their own original songs as well as all time favorite classics. The MacNeils have released 17 recordings which include O Christmas Tree, The Celtic Colours Sessions, Live in Concert with Symphony Nova Scotia, In Concert, In Session, 20 Anniversary Collection, Christmas Album 1 and 2, All At Once, Racket In the Attic, Until Now, The Question, The Traditional Album, Closer to Paradise, Time Frame, Rock in the Stream and the self titled, Barra MacNeils.
The Barra MacNeils promises to be a performance sure to delight the entire family with its unique and distinctive brand of Celtic flavour.
The MacNeils perform to sold out audiences throughout Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, the United Kingdom and Europe. Weyburn residents are encouraged to purchase their tickets early. These are available at Superior Office Products or online at www.ticketpro.ca.
