Great Celtic Music in Luray, VA on 13 Mar 2010


Back by popular demand, the Washington, D.C. based band, IONA will fill the BB&T Center for Performing Arts in Luray, VA with great Celtic beginning at 7:30PM, 13 Mar 2010.

Note this tip: Luray is only 90 miles from DC and the weather forecast is looking good so plan a weekend getaway now! Make sure to buy your tickets on-line at

before you leave home. You don't want to arrive for the weekend or evening only to find out the tickets are all gone!

IONA's performance last year treated the audience to high energy entertainment featuring Scottish fiddling, driving percussion, and strong vocals from all the Celtic nations, including America. Presenting the music and dance of all the Celtic countries--Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, Brittany, Asturies and Galicia--IONA emphasizes that America is not only the repository of all these cultural influences, but also the progenitor of many of its own. Audiences are encouraged to clog along, or dance Breton line dances, and join in singing.
