Throughout 2007 and 2008, the Sydney Mines, Cape Breton Island based family group, the Barra MacNeils, celebrated
over 20 years in an outstanding recording and touring career. This was accented with a two CD special 20th
Anniversary package covering the span of their entire career to that point, as well as live concerts reflecting the
musical course of their career, from humble family beginnings to world wide acclaim. The concert touring in support of
that project took the group to theatre and festival stages coast to coast across Canada, had them jetting across
America from festival stage to theatre stage and beyond, as well as sending them to Ireland and Scotland for
prestigious events across the Atlantic.

Now, in 2009 and soon enough moving into 2010, the group has released two new live recordings intended to
represent both sides of what the Barra MacNeils bring to stages the world over. The two live CD’s, In Concert and In
Session, together cover the instrumental and vocal material the group performs in concerts regularly while also
touching on lesser known material from their more formative years and more informal musical gatherings.
