Featuring:
The Dunmore Lasses
The Dunmore Lasses fuse traditional Irish/Scottish music with the infectious energy of Rock. They have opened for Wicked Tinkers and Molly’s Revenge, and have played festivals headlined by Old Blind Dogs and Alasdair Fraser. They’ve been raising the rafters in and around Northern Utah at such venues as Piper Down, Flanagan’s, MacCool’s, Bountiful International Music Festival and Ogden Irish Music Fest, as well as Ceilidh at the Roundhouse Celtic Music Festival in Wyoming. The Dunmore Lasses have been featured in traditional Irish Podcasts and have provided original music for local film projects. Their debut self-titled CD is available at all shows. Their second CD, “Dara” is in the works. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtHBbA-wlMOtzXrvIe3htcQ
Wasatch & District Pipe Band
Established in 2004, WDPB is a competitive and performing Bagpipe Band based out of Bountiful, Utah. Wearing the MacTavish tartan, our band performs all over Northern Utah, and competes in the Western US, Canada, the United Kingdom, and we have attended the World Pipe Band Championships held in Glasgow Scotland. We also frequently perform with many local music groups such as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. This past year we also completed our first CD for our tenth anniversary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU7cJgk4x88
Celtic Beat
Celtic Beat Irish Dancers are a group of trained dancers from Layton, Utah under the direction of LaRae R. Thackeray. Celtic Beat was formed in 1998 to promote Irish culture and to provide performing opportunities to young dancers. The group ranges in age from 8 through 18 years of age. Celtic Beat performs in the tradition of "Riverdance" to jig and reel music in softshoe and hardshoe. The dancers have received training from Marty Dowd and Joann Evans of "Riverdance", Jack McCardle of the McCardle Irish School in Connecticut, and Molly Bennet from Denver. They have attended workshops with the Trinity Irish Dance Company. http://youtu.be/nLtFhBnINfA orhttp://youtu.be/PTh9x9tqDOE
