 tan Altan is celebrating 40 years on the road! After four decades\, Altan 
 remains at the forefront of traditional Irish music\, blending the raw ene
 rgy of their native Donegal fiddle style with a rare melodic sensibility. 
 To coincide with this tremendous milestone\, they have planned special cel
 ebratory concerts in Ireland and abroad\, inviting special guests to join 
 them. Altan evolved from Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and her late husband\, Bel
 fast flute player\, Frankie Kennedy playing duets\, first at folk clubs an
 d smaller festivals in Ireland an on to the world - wide stage. The group 
 has always been regarded as tradition bearers\, bringing their native Done
 gal music and songs to a wider public\, keeping true to their roots while 
 exploring modern arrangements and textures to entice new followers. This i
 ntegrity in their music has placed them in high esteem by their peers and 
 is why they are regarded as one of the most popular Irish traditional band
 s of all time. They were the first ever Irish traditional band to be signe
 d to a major label by Virgin Records in 1995. The group has its original c
 ore members: founding member\, lead singer\, and fiddler Mairéad Ní Mhao
 naigh \, Ciaran Curran on bouzouki\, and Mark Kelly on guitar. Accordion p
 layer\, Martin Tourish has been recording and touring with the band now fo
 r over 15 years. The latest addition to Altan’s lineup is the wonderful 
 young fiddler and singer\, Clare Friel \, who is steeped in the tradition 
 of her Donegal ancestors! They've brought their native music to renowned v
 enues like Carnagie Hall NY\, the Sydney Opera House\, Dublin’s National
  Concert Hall \, Glastonbury Festival\, Tradfest Temple Bar in Dublin\, an
 d to Festival Interceltique de Lorient in Brittany. They have collaborated
  with The Chieftains\, Dolly Parton\, Ricky Sk\n\nhttps://secure.thefreigh
