One of Ireland's most widely known and loved bands, The Sands Family, perform at An Grianán Theatre in Letterkenny on Friday, May 2. For more than three decades their name in particular has become synonymous with folk music from the north of Ireland.

Four extremely talented siblings – Anne, Ben, Colum and Tommy Sands – have individually and collectively played a very significant part in the creation of the phenomenal world-wide interest in Irish music since the 1970s.

Their totally unique blend of self-penned songs and traditional material bring their audiences on a trip through every emotion in the book – moving seamlessly from whimsical to serious, from sad to hilarious, from traditional to contemporary. And all cemented together with well-crafted and delivered stories and presented with apparently effortless ease and a great deal of devilment!

The Sands Family are still singing and playing to an ever expanding audience, with fans of all ages – from Berlin to Boston – well aware that a Sands Family concert is substantially more than just an evening of music and song but a cultural experience: a chance to enjoy and share in the craic with four superb performers who have the unique ability to make their audiences an integral and important part of every show. This is the feel-good factor to the power of four! Tickets are available at the box office on 0749120777, see www.angrianan.com for further information.
