A CELTIC music group will take centre stage in Henley-on-Thames later this month.
Atlantic Canada’s Còig will perform at the Nettlebed Village Club, on the High Street, on Monday, November 22 at 8pm.
The band plays a mix of traditional tunes, lively instrumentals and contemporary songs on over a dozen instruments in a non-traditional way.
These include vocals, fiddles, guitar, banjo, mandolin, viola, bouzouki, whistles, and more.
Featuring the fiddling and step-dancing duo of Chrissy Crowley and Rachel Davis, multi-instrumentalist Darren McMullen, and guest musician, Thierry Clouette.
The band has been recognised with a 2020 Canadian Folk Music Award, East Coast Music Award and a Music Nova Scotia Award nomination.
With a growing list of credits, the group’s hit Ashlar debuted at number one on the World iTunes chart.
And other songs include Carols Too, Rove, Carols and Five.
Còig are currently busy collaborating on new material, which is set to be released in Spring 2022.
And Còig has been described by fRoots as having “quality material, dexterous instrumental playing, solid ensemble work and a rush of robust energetic expertise”.
The award-winning quartet’s music is a unique combination of each band player’s own influences.
Folk Radio added that the band’s “cheering, whistles and lengthy applause let them know they’d found a home from home”.
Tickets cost £17.
