Traditional reels and Gaelic songs are brought to life by Altan's dynamic twin fiddles, accordion, bouzouki and Maihréad Ní Mhaonaigh's transfixing voice.

With a series of exquisitely produced award-winning recordings, ranging dynamically from the most sensitive and touching old Irish songs to hard hitting reels and jigs, and with heart-warming, dynamic live performances, Altan has moved audiences from Donegal to Tokyo to Seattle.

Throughout, there has been the unwavering commitment of the band to bringing the beauty of traditional music, particularly that of the Donegal fiddlers and singers, to contemporary audiences in a way that brings out all its qualities and destroys none.

In fact, Altan has always believed that Irish traditional music is a modern music in every sense - its growing influence and popularity have proved them right.
