The Celtic Tenors are a three-man vocal group that includes Matthew Gilsenan, James Nelson and Daryl Simpson. The trio has been weaving together an eclectic repertoire of Celtic, operatic and popular songs for audiences worldwide since 2000.

On why they decided on recording the Holiday album, James says, “This collection of timeless Christmas classics from our childhood is dedicated to the Celtic Tenors' loyal supporters & fans who have requested a Christmas CD from the outset. Thank you all for your unending support."
During the performance The Celtic Tenors will create some holiday cheer by singing traditional Christmas songs, such as ‘O Holy Night’, ‘Angels We Have Heard on High’ and ‘We Three Kings.’ "These are the songs that over the years have filled homes at Christmas time here in Ireland. We hope that everyone who listens to it catches a little bit of our Irish Christmas spirit.” says Matthew.
