Barra MacNeils - Profile

UPDATE Aug 11: The Barra MacNeils are no longer scheduled to appear at the 2005 KC Irish Fest

The profile of the Barra MacNeils has been posted on the website. This family Celtic group from Cape Breton has been awarded mulitple East Coast Music Awards, Junos, and gold albums. Their latest recording, 2005's "All At Once" features the addition of siblings, Ryan and Boyd MacNeil to add to Lucy, Stewart, Kyle and Sheumas. That's a lot of MacNeils.

Earlier, their 2000 CD "Racket in the Attic" featured a guest appearance by Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains, and a track where Great Big Sea performed vocals.

You can listen to the Barra MacNeils on Podcasts #24 and #20 over on Celtic Music News or if you prefer, on their mother's stepdancing video.

For more information, archived in the Cape Bretoner is an interview with Kyle MacNeil. The profile of the Barra MacNeils is reached, like all Performer Profiles, from the Entertainment Page.
