Celtic Crossroads is to Irish music as what Riverdance is to Irish dance. The name Celtic Crossroads originates from a time in Ireland when neighboring communities met at the crossroads between towns and villages to socialize – long before the pub tradition began. The show, incorporating seven world-class musicians, playing over twenty instruments on stage, is a fantastic spectacle.
From start to finish you are captivated by a wonderful fusion of musical genres in the Irish music family, such as Eastern European Gypsy, North American Bluegrass, world Classical and Jazz, and the various forms of Celtic music from around Europe and the rest of the world. Celtic Crossroads is critically acclaimed as ‘the most exhilarating and authentic show to come from Ireland in decades – not to be missed.’ It is an explosion of youthful energy and dazzling musicianship.
