"One of my favorite songs is the ancient haunting 16th century Scottish Christmas Carol entitled "Balulalow," says producer Ric Blair. "It is sung in the broad Scot dialect, which is a mixture of English and Gaelic." The lyrics tell the story of how the Angel Gabriel appeared before the Virgin Mary, letting her know that she will be giving birth to the Christ Child…powerful, spine tingling and timeless song.
Other notable songs resurrected by Blair include the 15th century Scottish carol "Da' Day Dawis" and the 12th century Irish "Wexford Carol," which the band performs alongside Celtic renditions of better-known Christmas tunes like "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "Joy to the World."
Special Guests include: Irish singer Mairead Ni Mhaomaigh from famous Donegal group Altan, Riverdance piper Ivan Goff, Dublin, Ireland, Scottish actor & author Jamie Stuart Glasgow, Scotland The Gael String Orchestra Irish Dancing, Children's Choir and more!
