The award-winning Celtic duo of guitarist Robin Bullock and harpist Sue Richards present The Carolina Celtic Christmas Show. The monthly Carolina Celtic concert series showcases Irish and Scottish musical traditions and explores their commonality with the Appalachian ballads and stories of the Carolina mountains. Robin and Sue, both proud transplants to the North Carolina mountains, blend the ancient majesty of Celtic tradition with the influence of the “New Land,” creating music that’s beautiful and timeless, yet fresh and current. Their individual achievements speak for themselves, with (among many other accomplishments) Sue being a four-time National Scottish Harp Champion and Robin being ranked among the “100 Greatest Acoustic Guitarists” by DigitalDreamDoor.com and a longtime touring sideman with Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award winner Tom Paxton. The magic of their combined artistic excellence and mastery of Celtic traditions is captured on their many individual recordings and their brilliant 2018 duo CD Highland Ramble. Both Sue and Robin have been performing holiday concerts throughout the U.S. for many years and have multiple seasonal recordings to their credit: Robin‘s solo CDs A Guitar for Christmas and Christmas Eve is Here, and Sue’s CDs with Ensemble Galilei Ancient Noels, A Winter’s Night, Surrounded by Angels, and A Solstice Gathering. Tonight’s concert promises Celtic-flavored takes on many holiday favorites along with lesser-known carols and wassails from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and beyond. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a hot cider, and join us!
