I would realy love to see Altan live, but can't find any information on whether or not they're planning any UK dates. Does anyone know anything? Thanks, Abi.

Hi Abi I don't know of any tour at the moment - but there's quite a good page available that might be of interest:

http://www.sonic.net/~jmagers/altan/

you might get something there.

(Enjoy Cropredy!)

I'm not sure of their UK concert dates either, but if you can get over to Donegal, Northwest Ireland, for the last week or thereabouts, of the year, there is the Frankie Kennedy Winter Music school in Bunbeg. You won't just see Altan in concert but you'll be having a pint or two with them and maybe even a session.

Oh, you can also learn to play Donegal style if you want.

Hope this is of use.
