Altan


Altan is arguably the most iconic band working in traditional Irish music today. For the past 35 years, they have been bringing the music of their native County Donegal to the world stage. The band's newest album, the aptly-titled Donegal, features dynamic twin-fiddling and Irish-language songs that are the hallmarks of Altan’s sound. This ten-track album is a homage to the county's rich musical heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant culture. 

No trad Irish band in the last thirty years has had a wider impact on audiences throughout the world than Altan. Formed in County Donegal in 1987 by lead vocalist Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and her late husband Frankie Kennedy, the group’s music is influenced by traditional Irish language songs and tunes from Donegal. Over the course of their career, Altan has sold over a million records.
