Cherish the Ladies has become the most successful and sought after Irish-American group in Celtic music. When describing them, the critics say it best. The Boston Globe: “It is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn’t enjoy what they do.  The Washington Post: “An astonishing array of virtuosity“. For the past twenty-five years, Cherish the Ladies have proven themselves worthy of these accolades for their vocal, instrumental, and step dancing talents.
