For one week in 1997, Dublin's state-of-the-art Point Theatre played host to Gael Force, possibly the greatest gathering of Celtic musicians, singers and dancers in one venue that the city has yet encountered. Many of the artists who have defined Irish music in the past decades were there - The Chieftains, Clannad, De Dannan, Christy Moore, Mary Black - alongside such younger talents as Sinead Lohan, Ashley MacIsaac and Carlos Nunez (some, like the latter two, hailing from the wider Celtic diaspora in Canada and southern Europe).This feature captures the cream of the performances from all of those involved and offers a panoramic view of the best that the Celtic scene has to offer the world.
