The stunning duet Lumiere teams together with highly revered Irish folk singers Noriana Kennedy and Nicola Joyce to weave an evocative and haunting showcase of Irish female song today. The ‘Celtic Divas’ perform a beautiful set of songs gathered from their families and the rich traditions of their homeland - steeped in history and the Irish language with a singing style that is rare and unique. Head of the bill is one of the most talked-about vocal acts to emerge from Ireland in recent times – Lumiere, comprising the talents of Sony recording artists Eilis Kennedy and Pauline Scanlon. This tour has presented an amazing opportunity to invite four of Irelands top folk singers to perform in New Zealand with an incredible backing band - expect a real treat. As the girls agree: “No matter where you travel it’s hard to find better than a good Irish song".
