The Barra MacNeils released two new live CD’s, In Concert and In Session, representing the instrumental and vocal material performed on concert stages around the world for over 20 years. As a group, the six MacNeil siblings are widely regarded as one of the greatest live concert acts in the Celtic world.
Hailing from Sydney Mines, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, the family group is deeply rooted in Celtic music, culture, dance, language and history. Multiple lead vocalists, beautiful sibling harmonies, top drawer instrumental prowess on a wide variety of acoustic, stringed, percussion and wind instruments blend with dance, storytelling, Gaelic songs and a journey through an ancient culture; it is family entertainment at its highest level.
