Blackwater

One of Ireland's most popular bands (behind only U2 and the Cranberries), Altan's last 3 releases won NAIRD's sales award for "Best Celtic Album of the Year" and their last studio album, Island Angel, reigned on Billboard Magazine's World Music Chart for 8 months. Led by singer/fiddler Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh, the band draws thousands to American concert halls, theaters and festivals on a regular basis; Celtic, new age, folk and world music audiences have already embraced Altan, as has the mainstream press.
