June 13, 2022: The Celtic Cultural Alliance has announced its music line-up for the 35th annual celebration of the Celtic Classic Highland Games and Festival, which will take place on September 23-25, 2022, in downtown Bethlehem.
“We are excited this year that many of our crowd favorites are returning, like Gerry Timlin, The Steel City Rovers and Low Lily. “Being an anniversary year, we tried to cover all the Celtic genres from trad to Celtic rock” explained Jayne Ann Recker, Executive Director. Across the Pond, Dave North Trio and The McKrells will satisfy fans of the traditional while The Kilmaine Saints, Emish and the Glengarry Bhoys will raise the tempo. Local favorites Fig For a Kiss and Chivalrous Crickets return as well. Visitors will be surrounded with the distinct Celtic sound of tin whistles, bag pipes and fiddles wherever they are on the grounds.
The Celtic Classic has 5 free stages of Celtic music throughout the festival grounds and in the Ice House. World class Celtic entertaines will perform over 100 hours of free Celtic music. Many of the Celtic tunes are the traditional Irish jigs, shanties, drinking songs and ballads combined with a lyrical story-telling.
In addition to musical performances, O’Grady Quinlan Irish Academy of Dance will have several performances throughout the festival weekend. With precision footwork and dazzling costumes, O’Grady Quinlan shares the Irish culture through their performances. Cultural presentations will be held throughout the day in Celtic Heritage Hollow, including musical workshops, a Scottish shortbread baking contest, lectures, clans & societies and the Children’s Activity Tent.
Celtic Classic will also see the return of Gene Sheninger of Wayside Farm. Sheninger will demonstrate how border collies can herd sheep and ducks. Border collies have been used for herding for hundreds of years in the Celtic nations.
