Celtic music by Dervish returns to the Principal

The Irish group, Dervish, will perform on July 12 at 9.30 p.m. at the Teatre Principal. Three years after their first performance at the Principal, the group is returning to the Mallorcan stage, expecting the same receptive audience that it found in the famous concert in Spring 1997. That recital originated, in an improvised way, their fourth record, "Live in Palma", a double album that has been classed by various critics as one of the best live recordings of traditional music. At the same time Dervish will present their latest record, "Midsummer's Night".

Dervish is one of the most popular Celtic groups in the world. According to their own explanations their success is based on the fact that they have grabbed at their cultural roots. They reject electronic instruments and contemporary songs as a way of attracting attention.

Full information about Dervish and about Irish culture can be found on the group's web: www.dervish.ie
