For the first time in twenty-five years, the Original Irish Descendants took the stage at Iceberg Alley last night.
The Celtic musicians stepped out to a raucous crowd after an introduction from VOCM’s Greg Smith.
Well that was one for the books, a sold out @icebergalleyNL crowd, ready to hear the original Irish Descendants reunited for the first time in 25 years!
What a time and what a honour to be able to introduce the B’ys!@CONDESCENDANT @dbroderick63 @spacebouzouki pic.twitter.com/Y5hfO8zLbS

It was the first time in a quarter-century that the original lineup all played together in front of a sold out audience.
What a night of great music. @icebergalleyNL pic.twitter.com/snwuxlmC2Z

The reunion, originally scheduled for 2020, had been building anticipation since the original concert date was postponed due to the pandemic. When announced that it would be a part of Iceberg Alley, the show was the first to sell out.
