Realta at the historic Whiteside Theatre

Réalta takes a lively, exciting and respectful approach to Irish traditional music.
Reared on a staple diet of The Bothy Band, Planxty and other such classics, this Belfast based band captures the timeless aspects of the tradition and presents it in its raw form fresh and beautiful

Or as one reviewer put it, Réalta carry on the Bothy Band tradition of taking tunes by the scruff of the neck and firing excitement through them like hot flames!

Having toured Germany, Switzerland, and Greece alongside traditional music legends Altan, and won the prestigious Danny Kyle Award at Celtic Connections Festival, these young musicians have firmly established themselves on the international Irish music scene. Their music has taken them throughout Europe and on to New York, India, and South Korea. Grab your dancing shoes and find out why as they perform a stirring mix of tunes on uilleann pipes, whistles, flute, guitar, piano, double bass, bouzouki, banjo, and bodhrán.

Réalta are now touring to promote the release of their second album Clear Skies (2016)
