The Irish Descendants Christmas

Enjoy festive tunes, tales and merriment in The Irish Descendants Christmas 2024 performance starring multi-award-winning Newfoundland folk group, The Irish Descendants, with longtime front man Con O’Brien. The group will be joined by Mark Manning and Aaron Collis of the popular Newfoundland folk band, Rum Ragged, creating a powerful ensemble that will be sure to get you into the holiday spirit.

Heading into its fifteenth year, The Irish Descendants Christmas is reminiscent of long-lived old-time Newfoundland and Labrador seasonal celebrations.

“The rich traditions that surround the Christmas season in our typical outport homes are centuries old,” says Con O’Brien. “The show pays homage to these sacred family and community gatherings which have greatly inspired us.”

The show will present songs from The Irish Descendants two Christmas albums, including The Gift (released in 2001), and An Irish Descendants Christmas (released in 2023) plus more festive favourites.

“The Irish Descendants Christmas will be an evening of top calibre music combined with classic family stories that will warm the cockles of your heart, adds O’Brien. “It will surely be a memorable show that will kick off your Christmas, “Newfoundland style.”
