They will be joined on stage by the talented founding members of Rum Ragged, Mark Manning on vocals and guitar and Aaron Collis on accordion and vocals.

Heading into its fifteenth year, The Irish Descendants Christmas is reminiscent of long-lived old-time Newfoundland and Labrador seasonal celebrations.

“The rich traditions that surround the Christmas season in our typical outport homes are centuries old,” says Con O’Brien. “The show pays homage to these sacred family and community gatherings which have greatly inspired us.” 

The show will present songs from The Irish Descendants two Christmas albums, including The Gift (released in 2001), and An Irish Descendants Christmas (released in 2023) plus more festive favourites.

“The Irish Descendants Christmas will be an evening of top calibre music combined with classic family stories that will warm the cockles of your heart, adds O’Brien. “It will surely be a memorable show that will kick off your Christmas, “Newfoundland style.”

About The Irish Descendants
From the rocky coastal outports of the Island of Newfoundland, The Irish Descendants formed in May 1990 and have carved a prestigious reputation over nearly 35 years of performing. This iconic Canadian folk group guided by the leadership of Con O’Brien have toured throughout North America and beyond, sharing the music of their ancestral Irish home and that of their beloved Newfoundland and Labrador. With impeccable musicianship and vocal prowess, combined with amazing stories and wit, the group continually deliver vivid memories of who they are and where they come from to satisfied audiences wherever they hit a stage. 

The Irish Descendants were the first band from their home province to sign a five-album record deal with an international recording label and distributor Warner Music Canada. The band’s discography includes 14 studio recordings, with two certified Canadian Gold Albums, a JUNO Award along with three East Coast Music Awards.
