Celtic Dawn's Reviews

5 out of 5

'It was an absolute delight to welcome Celtic Dawn to one of our recent sessions at Connect For Life. It had been a little while since we had Rev Jacob at our session but going on previous performances we knew we were in for a treat. The music was incredibly invocative, our service users loved the musical journey that they were taken on - an absolute delight!'

Celtic Dawn really gets a party going with its toe tapping Irish tunes. Love Irish Washerwoman!
