Chris Newman & M�ire N� Chathasaigh - Christmas Lights

A stunningly original take on festive favourites from one of the UK's most staggering and influential acoustic guitarists and the doyenne of Irish harpers Individually famed for originality, innovation and virtuosity on their respective instruments, together Chris and M�ire have created one of the most distinctive voices in modern acoustic music and brought their unique musical vision to venues large and small in twenty-two countries on five continents. Their many recordings express both the depth of their commitment to tradition and an eternally playful, curious and adventurous spirit. Their new Christmas CD features a selection of carols, arranged - and in some cases re-written - in their signature eclectic style, with influences ranging from mediaeval to traditional Irish, gothic folk, jazz, latin and rock-and-roll!Chris guitars; mandolins; bass; keyboards; percussion M�ire Irish harp Nollaig Casey fiddle Maggie Boyle flute Roy Whyke drums
