Altan
The Gap of Dreams Australian Tour
Tuesday, June 12 at 7 PM - 10:30 PM UTC+10
The Thornbury Theatre
859 High Street, Thornbury, Victoria, Australia 3071
In the last dozen years, no traditional Irish band has had a wider impact on audiences and music lovers throughout the world than Altan.
With their exquisitely produced award-winning recordings, ranging dynamically from the most sensitive and touching old Irish songs all the way to hard hitting reels and jigs, and with their heartwarming, dynamic live performances, Altan have moved audiences from Donegal to Tokyo to Seattle.
Throughout, there has been the unwavering commitment of the band to bringing the beauty of traditional music, particularly that of the Donegal fiddlers and singers, to contemporary audiences in a way that brings out all its qualities and destroys none. In fact, Altan have always believed that Irish traditional music is a modern music in every sense and its growing influence and popularity have proved them right.
The album ‘The Gap of Dreams’ transports the listener to the lifestyle of rural Donegal, to a time before electricity when folks would gather together in the mists of winter to tell stories, sing songs and dance into the wee hours of the night. The music lifted the locals’ spirits and helped elevate them beyond the hardships of the day like famine, conflict and emigration. It is this spirit that informed the development of the band through their many phases of growth from a duo performing in pubs to international touring and recording artists.
The chance to experience this thirty year-active band is to experience the living legacy of Irish music.

A MELBOURNE TARTAN FESTIVAL EVENT
www.melbournetartanfestival.com.au
Dance the night away to the music of the renowned Melbourne Scottish Fiddle Club at the historic Abbotsford Convent Rubina Auditorium.
Ceilidh (pronounced “Kay-lee”) comes from the Gaelic for ‘gathering’ or ‘party’. A traditional ceilidh may have included dancing, poetry, stories and music. These days a ceilidh is usually centred around dancing – Scottish style. You don’t have to be experienced, there is always someone else there you can follow. It’s all about having fun! But be warned, it’s addictive and once you start you won’t want to stop.
The Melbourne Scottish Fiddle Club always gives a lively and captivating performance, with a mix of the traditional and contemporary music that will have you on your feet from the moment they begin playing.
