25th Anniversary Celebration

 Over 25 years playing together, Altan have well and truly established themselves as one of the most important and best loved traditional Irish groups in Ireland and on the World stage.

Now, to celebrate their impressive 25 year career, we are delighted to welcome Altan to the intimate setting of Riverbank Arts Centre
Described as “The hottest group in the Celtic realm!” (Boston globe), Altan have played their music in top venues across the world; The Sydney Opera House, The Hollywood Bowl, The Royal Albert Hall, and many more.

They have played music and recorded with The Chieftains, Dolly Parton Bonnie Raitt, Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs to name but a few.

Altan’s new album is a mixture of songs recorded over the last 25 years accompanied by the RTE Concert Orchestra; with Mairead ni Mhaonaigh’s haunting voice and the band’s superb musicianship, this show will testify to the bands unfailing quality over the years.
