Eileen Ivers captures the spirit and magic of the season in her heartwarming holiday show: An Nollaig- An Irish Christmas. Every year there is a great swell of anticipation for the grand celebrations surrounding Christmas in Ireland. There is clamor and delight of Christmas Eve, the peace and beauty of Christmas Day and the lively parties the day after (St. Stephen's Day or Boxing Day) when the "Wren Boys" don their straw hats, dance at the crossroads, play their pipes, drums and fiddles and collect gifts for the less fortunate. Families entertain each other as they have for centuries with stories and music and Eileen Ivers shares these joyful Irish customs which are still reveled in today. The program features traditional Irish songs, original tunes and holiday favorites specially arranged by Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul such as The Holly Tree, Dom Oiche Ud mBeithil (One Night in Bethelehem), Hark the Herald Angels (in traditional jig time), The Wexford Carol (12th century Irish Christmas Carol) and many others.
