Concerts Resume!


Kicking off with

Golden Bough

OVER 40 YEARS AGO, Margie and Paul founded Golden Bough with the idea of combining Celtic music with their own original compositions. 30 recordings, several tours in the U.S. and Europe later, combined with the addition of Kathy Sierra, Golden Bough is still a driving force in the Celtic music scene, with new recordings and tours in the works.


Rooted in the traditional music of the seven Celtic nations (Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, The Isle of Man, French Brittany and Spanish Galicia), Golden Bough has become a popular and in-demand group on both sides of the Atlantic. Since their formation in 1980, this trio of modern day minstrels has traveled great distances to numerous countries, to bring their music to enthusiastic folk fans the world over.


Backing themselves on an array of acoustic instruments; Celtic harp, guitar, octave-mandolin, mandolin, accordion, violin, penny whistle and bodhran, they blend their voices in the pristine harmonies that have become a Golden Bough trademark. To date they have released over 30 recordings. In the recording studio, as well as on stage, Golden Bough captures the essence and joy of traditional music.


Concert: 7:30pm - 9:30pm

Special Community Celtic Concert

Early tickets HERE

Daimh a Gaelic Super-group and unchallenged champions of straight-in-the-eye Highland music is based around West Lochaber and the Isle of Skye. Joining the force on this tour is the world-known fiddler Alasdair White!


Formed around the turn of the century and taking the name from the Gaelic word for kinship Daimh (pronounced Dive) have taken their contemporary take of Highland and Gaelic music to over 20 countries, setting audiences alight from Moscow to San Francisco.


With a reputation as giants of the Bagpipes and Fiddle, Angus Mackenzie and Gabe McVarish lead the melodic powerhouse with fellow founder member Ross Martin underpinning the groove on the Guitar. The Band is joined by new guy Murdo Yogi Cameron on Mandola and Accordion to complete the instrumental lineup.


Daimh has always had the renown and notoriety of working with some of the finest Gaelic singers in Scotland and the current lineup only serves to cement that distinction with the addition of the Gaelic firmament's most rapidly rising star, Ellen MacDonald on vocals. Recent accolades include last year's award for the Best Folk Band in Europe at the prestigious Folkherbst competition in Germany and most recently winner of Folk Band of the Year at the Scottish Traditional Music Awards.
