From the creators of the smash hit Celtic Woman comes a new exciting Irish ballad group: The High Kings.

Four top-class performers create this unique ensemble, re-energising the great Irish ballads and introducing exciting new songs from Ireland.

Highly acclaimed composer and musical director David Downes (Celtic Woman) brings intricate harmonies and driving rhythms to The High Kings. songbook, giving it a freshness and sparkle that is modern and exciting, without ever sacrificing the traditional melodies and lyrics.

The songs themselves reflect a wide range of moods: the rousing Rocky Road to Dublin, the haunting strains of The Parting Glass, the irresistible The Wild Rover and the stunning Fields of Glory.

Incorporating some of the classic ballad repertoire from the past with new and exciting modern songs in the folk idiom, The High Kings are not to be missed.
