The McDermott's Handy Christmas music program is a natural extension of their passion for the wonderful varieties of Irish traditional music and their talent for synthesizing the rich cultural lore of the season into a rollicking holiday house party.
Dennis Gormley, Kathy DeAngelo and daughter Emma present this concert, a blend of lively dance tunes, songs with the kind of choruses to make you sing along, and poignant stories about some of the customs that are now part of the seasonal tradition. You'll hear the harp, fiddles, flute and guitar, as well as traditional Irish instruments such as the tin whistle, bouzouki and bodhran.
