Altan play NCH on Aug 14th!

← back to news

We have just finished recording a CD with the wonderful RTÉ Concert Orchestra under the watchful conductor eye of David Brophy. The production was done by our arranger and genius friend Fiachra Trench and engineered by an old friend of the band Brian Masterson.

It was such a good experience for all involved that we have decided to make a DVD with all at The National Concert Hall on the 14th of August. We are really looking forward to this as it promises to be a very different experience and we will capture it on camera!

This weekend we play The McCracken School of music tomorrow night in Belfast and then head west to Ballyshannon to one of the longest running folk festivals in Ireland…..it is always a pleasure to be able to play our music in our own county!!!

I will head to Denmark next week with the wonderful Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh to play on a Viking ship in Copenhagen.

Then on the 21st August I will join my old friends The String Sisters at the Tatihou Festival, France.
