The Enderby and District Arts Council is holding a concert with the Celtic-folk sounds of Vancouver’s Blackthorn.
“The band last played at the Enderby Drill Hall in the late ‘90s to a very appreciative audience,” said Diana Inselberg, with the arts council.
Blackthorn features four talented musicians, three of whom share lead vocals. Their extensive repertoire is rooted in the musical traditions of Scotland and Ireland, as well as the folk music of English and French Canada.
From lively jigs and reels to heart-wrenching airs and ballads, they bring this music to life with luscious harmonies and complex instrumentation.
“This will be a great concert with stage lighting, great sound, and room for dancing,” said Inselberg.
The concert takes place Sunday, March 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the Enderby Drill Hall. Tickets are $15 ($10 for youth under 18) only at the door. Refreshments will be available.
