About this Event
"...Tomáseen Foley’s 'A Celtic Christmas' is like a cup of Irish coffee in a neighbor’s kitchen on a dark night- warm, comforting and full of cheer.”Noozhawk, Santa Barbara, CA
Now in its 29th Season, Tomáseen Foley’s A Celtic Christmas recreates the joy and innocence of a night before Christmas in a remote farmhouse in the west of Ireland – when the neighboring families gathered around the fire to grace the wintry night with the haunting melodies of traditional Irish Christmas carols, to raise the rafters with the joy of their music and to knock sparks off the flagstone floor with traditional dances, and to fill the night with the laughter of their stories.
