There’s nothing we can add in words to enhance the worldwide reputation of this amazing Irish band. We are simply thrilled to welcome them to The Duncairn.

The Sunday Tribune, Dublin:

“The appeal of Altan centres on the fact that they see no differences or divisions in music. As such, they have managed to cross the all- important cultural barriers between folk and world and rock music”

Chicago Weekly:

“Thought by many to be the finest traditional Irish combo working today, Altan seamlessly blend dazzling instrumental prowess and the gorgeously delicate vocals of Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh”

The New York Times:

“Altan's special strength is the clarity and coordination of its textures”

Evening Press, Dublin:

“Mairead Ni Mhaonaighs' beautiful airs had us begging for more. Every corner seemed to echo with her voice long after the music had stopped
