BRUCE GUTHRO

Bruce Guthro invites you to a Celtic Christmas! An exceptional Christmas experience in the Concert halls.

New Christmas traditions are rarely created. Both the press and the audience agreed that Bruce Guthro captured the perfect holiday spirit with last year's Celtic X-mas Tour in Denmark. This provides a foundation for a brand new Christmas tradition in Denmark's concert halls with Bruce Guthro at the helm. With a mix of songs from his origin, Nova Scotia in Canada, Irish classics and a number of well-known English Christmas carols, he and his band achieved a great sense of harmony. Reviews of Bruce Guthro:                          (Translated and rephrased from Danish)   "That's  how  you  do  Christmas.  A  new  Christmas  tradition  is  created  and  What  a  unique  one.  Sunday  evening  Bruce  Guthro  gave  the  Christmas  Concert  of  the  year  to  a  packed  venue."                              Musikhuset,  Aarhus

 "One  of  the  records  of  the  year  in  that  genre  of  music,  if  not  the  best."                      ******Jyllands-­‐Posten    "His  tremendously  big  voice  gets  better  and  better  with  time  and  it  suits  The  bombastic  ballads  that  enrich  the  Celtic  folk  music  so  much.  Songs  that  keep  lifting  and  lifting  till  you  are  at  the  edge  of  your  seat.  It's  emotional,  but  not  even  a  bit  sentimental."                                                                          Erik  Andresen,  VAF      

"Bruce  Guthro  delivers  one  of  the  best  folk  music  albums  of  the  year."                        *****B.T.    "During  the  song  "Walk  This  Road",  Guthro  and  the  band  transformed  The  audience  to  a  standing  gospel  choir"         Lena  Jeppesen,  Vostrup  ugeavis      

"The  last  song  of  the  concert  "Flew  McCarthy  Home"  was  a  tribute  to  The  soldiers  who  are  fighting  another  people's  battle  in  Afghanistan.  After  this  song,  he  and  the  band  got  a  well-­‐deserved  standing  ovation."                          Christina  Mørch,  Herningbladet    "2  hours  of  sublime  entertainment  -­‐  trembling  intense  -­‐  festive  –  Personal  –  touching."                                    Face  book    

"The  roof  over  DEN  BLAA  ENGEL  in  Kalundborg  was  about  to  split  open.  It  was  a  big  and  genius  chance  to  take  because  it  succeeded.  If  there  were  no  cracks  in  the  masonry  after  the  show,  kudos  to  the  contractor!"                        Sjællandske  Medier  

Stories that Speak to the Heart Bruce Guthro has long been a prominent singer, musician and storyteller, not least. Last year's sold out Christmas concerts showed how Danes love the stories that Bruce Guthro tells. Luckily, the feeling is mutual when the songs are accompanied by stories of Christmas parties and the curious personalities from back home in Nova Scotia, Canada. His skills as a troubadour and a storyteller lead the music straight into people's hearts, and one of the main reasons for Guthro's success is his ability to reach the audience. His songs cross the lines between pop and folk and demonstrate the songwriter's Incredible ability to put very different experiences into words so that you would think he himself had experienced them all. In November / December, Bruce will visit Denmark once again with a big arranged Celtic X-mas show. With him on stage, Bruce Guthro has his international six-piece band with members from both Ireland, Canada and Denmark. A great team that plays well together. Many people do especially notice the beautiful and talented Irish-Celtic violinist Roisin Ryan. Particularly when she is at the microphone singing with her beautiful and delicate voice on a few of the songs in the show. Matt Bashford from Ireland completes the authentic Celtic sound with his many flutes and Uilleann pipes.
