There’s certainly a touch of the Irish in this concert, but we’ve thrown in some Cape Breton, Scottish and Acadian flavours too, just for good measure. Multi-award winning trio Socks in the Frying Pan—from County Clare on Ireland’s west coast—blends traditional melodies with their own personal flair on guitar, vocals, accordion, fiddle, and banjo, while Edwina Guckian’s Sean Nós dancing is greatly influenced by the music of her home in County Leitrim. This is our first chance to see West Coast-based Cape Breton fiddler and dancer Mairi Rankin, of international Trad sensation The Outside Track, teamed up with cello-playing producer and arranger Eric Wright, of the JUNO Award- winning western Canadian group The Fretless. And Delores Boudreau, from the nearby community of Arichat, brings boundless energy and charisma to the stage. Her lively and upbeat, folk and bluegrass-inspired sound shines through whether singing in English or French.
