Irish Christmas Shows Set Across US
A Taste of Ireland’s touring “A Celtic Christmas” brings world-champion Irish dancers, live music, storytelling, comedy and holiday sing-alongs to venues including Stuart, Jacksonville and Bowling Green, with performances featuring stars associated with Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. The production blends Irish pub songs, reels and jigs with a romance set at Christmas; reports say its New York run received five-star reviews. Gainesville Dance Academy presents a separate “Christmas in Ireland,” pairing Irish dancing with traditional carols, a fiddler and costumed carolers. In California, piper Eric Rigler and guitarist Dirk Freymuth offer a distinct Celtic holiday concert featuring traditional melodies and music from film and television soundtracks.
