    Guth nam Beò translates from Gaelic to “Voice of the Living”, and are the first singing group to perform at Beltane Fire Festival. They embody the otherwordly figures the Tuatha Dè Danann, a supernatural group of creatures from Gaelic mythology. Although they dwell in the spiritual realm, they often interact with humans and return to our realm on the night of Beltane to celebrate the May Queen and the Green Man’s ritual union.
