Join us again this St. Patrick's Day for a performance by Kelly Sloan and JIG.
Kelly Sloan, the wonderful singer originally from Almonte, will be joining JIG for an evening of Irish music and song. Kelly is now based in Toronto and has had a long and successful career performing and recording her own original songs, and that have been played many times on CBC radio. However, her family and valley roots are rich in the Irish tradition. Kelly has performed her Irish repertoire at Almonte’s Celtfest, and on multiple St. Patrick’s Days among others, and will be singing a choice selection of Irish ballads accompanied by JIG, who will also play instrumental selections of jigs, reels, polkas and more, from the Irish tradition.
The three members of JIG are among the best players of traditional celtic music in the region. Those of you who know the local scene will already be familiar with the playing of James Stephens (fiddle/mandolin/ cittern), Ian Clark (guitar), and Greg Brown (fiddle/concertina, bouzouki).
Get ready for a great night of real Irish folk music!
