In 2010, songwriter Carmel Mikol brought forward the idea of pairing up young songwriters with young tune makers to see how our traditional music influences their contemporary work. The resulting concert was so much more than the sum of its parts that we couldn’t wait to do it again.
The Fiddletree Two – A Very Special Project Returns
Otis is a luthier, composer and musician. Over several years he crafted many beautiful instruments from one maple tree…fiddles, mandolins, guitars, cellos, violas and harps. We brought the instruments back together for a fabulous concert. Otis has continued the project, published a book and written more tunes.
Live Streamed Concerts Each Night of the Festival
Celtic Colours is thrilled to announce we will once again stream one show in its entirety, live online, each day of the festival.
