CelticFest Vancouver were delighted to have Clanna Morna at this years festival and they certainly delivered! Their set was lively and fun and the audience enjoyed every minute! A very talented group of musicians who I would be delighted to work with again.

As technically proficient as they present on video, it only hints at the energy this culturally diffuse band generates during a live show. When disciplined musicianship is infused with the joy of performing the experience is palpable magic. Clanna Morna live takes you on a roller coaster of sonic emotion: from wistful ballads to traditional reels to pulse-pounding shanties and fight songs. You needn’t be a disciple of Celtic music to  become immersed in the experience – big fun for all ages!

Clanna Morna….what can I honestly say that captures the enjoyment felt by our audience…? Joyful….? Rollocking…? Sure, they are that and much more. They are a brilliant bunch of young musicians who take their mission of carrying forward the beloved sounds of The Dubliners, The Clancy Brothers, and Planxty very seriously…..One of the most enjoyable bands we’ve had and one that has a standing invitation to return. We love ’em!

From start to finish, Clanna Morna has been a delight to work with. Our Irish wedding was held June of this year and I contacted them after I found them on the Irish times website. Communication was excellent prior to the event, price was very reasonable and they showed up on time with all equipment required. Their instruments and presentation was very professional and they were all very personable and friendly. I was looking for and Irish music performance for our wedding and I got so much more! This band provided exceptional traditional folk music as well as brief history on the songs about to be played during the performance which really added a unique element to the concert and kept it interesting for the audience. I very much appreciated the brief history lessons a lot – very interesting. This band is spectacular – they play a combination of ballads and upbeat tunes to delight their listeners. They have a variety of traditional instruments and their vocals are very good. If you are looking for a professional Celtic folk music band in the Victoria BC area, look no further than Clanna Morna. You will not be disappointed.

Spent a few hours at the Emporium last night (Friday Nov. 24) listening to Clanna Morna. Entertaining, fun, friendly. A tight group that brought us into their family and shared some great Celtic tales and music. If you get a chance go and see them, or even better, take a chance and go and see them. I’ll be there again, that’s for sure.
