Formed in County Donegal by singer/fiddler Mairéad Ni Mhaonaigh and the late Frankie Kennedy, Altan is one of Ireland’s foremost purveyors of traditional Celtic music. The group celebrates its 25th anniversary this year with the release of Altan: 25th Anniversary Celebration (Compass Records). Recorded with the RTE Concert Orchestra, it’s a mix of the band’s favorite songs from over the last quarter century.
