The Irish Descendants Christmas in Truro
Date:
Venue: Marigold Cultural Centre, Truro, NS
Performer: The Irish Descendants Christmas
The Irish Descendants are a four piece folk group from St. John's NL, Canada. All members are born of Irish emigrants which explains their deep understanding of the music they perform. The group helped to popularise traditional Newfoundland music to a wider Canadian audience in the early 1990s, along with other bands such as Great Big Sea. Their popularity within the province itself led to their selection as the official band of the province's 500th anniversary celebrations, during which they performed for the Queen.
