Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering; Everyone welcome jam 6:45pm, Open Stage 7:30pm, Feature Performers Shinndig at 9pm; Norway House, 1110 Hillside Avenue, $8 cash at the door
Shinndig’s musical roots are in Celtic, English, Old-Time and Canadian traditional music — sure to set your toes to tapping! While still true to those roots, these days their wide-ranging repertoire embraces both traditional and modern music, a synthesis of the many influences of its members: Celtic, Morris, Jazz, Swing, Old-Time, Medieval, Folk Revival, Country, and more, giving a subtly unique flavour to any song or tune they adopt as their own.
Shinndig is: Ian Johnston on guitar, Dick Pollard on fiddle and saxophone, Karen Gillmore on Irish flute, pennywhistle, and banjo, Patty Castle on bass, and everyone on vocals.
Shinndig’s enthusiasm is contagious, and they believe that music is a fine thing to build a community around — whether through people coming together to dance or raising their voices to sing along in chorus!
