At a total of six concerts in clubs, churches and (puppet) theaters, the trio kidnapped the listeners on the winter Green Island. Singer often addresses the matter in his writings. With lovingly arranged Christmas carols, dance pieces and stories the band revolves pulls Platinum a Celtic Christmas fantasy, which perhaps could look like: rather than snow, rain falls on a lonely House on the cliffs of Donegal. Smoke rises from the chimney, and penetrates through a sooty window flickering light in the winter night. Inside, grandmother Molly has ignited a turf fire. Grandfather Seamus tells the story of the grandchildren of the cow that ate the bagpiper. A cosy evening with the typical Irish mixture of moist happy melancholy, oblique humor and of course lots of handmade music.
