Barra MacNeils
Experience the magic as The Barra MacNeils, one of Canada’s most beloved Celtic groups, celebrate 40 years of touring!
The show will be an intimate journey of stories and music through 40 years of timeless tunes. From fan favourites to hidden gems that may have been forgotten. More than a concert, this is a heartfelt reflection of a life in music shared with fans old and new who make it all possible.
For four decades, the Cape Breton-based family group has been thrilling audiences of all ages, near and far, with their sparkling repertoire, vocals, instrumental prowess and vibrant showmanship.
As 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, 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.
The 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.
Multi-award winners, the Barra MacNeils have released no less than 17 albums and have been touring the nation, coast to coast, with their beloved Christmas show for 25 years!
