Celtic Guitar Christmas with Robin Bullock & Steve Baughman

Through the ageless tones of beautiful acoustic guitars, the music of Christmas comes to life in Robin and Steve’s concert of carols and hymns spanning over 600 years. Internationally recognized as master Celtic instrumentalists, they celebrate the many moods of the Yuletide season in gorgeous guitar interpretations, augmenting their six-string virtuosity with selections on cittern, mandolin, and clawhammer banjo.  Combining familiar favorites such as \”What Child is This,\” \”The First Noel,\” \”O Little Town of Bethlehem\” and a show-stopping guitar arrangement of \”Carol of the Bells\” with old-world Scottish and Irish carols, they weave a spell from centuries of tradition and the joy of the season, creating an unforgettable evening of acoustic Christmas cheer.   Fun for the entire family, happily brought to you by Acoustic Productions and Wesleyan College.
