Of course, you can always buy tickets online here or by phone at 613.402.1425.
Have you heard Còig’s version of Peter Gabriel’s Solsbury Hill? See the newest video from their studio sessions here! Neat Festival fact: Còig, who is performing at our Very Celtic Christmas shows in Almonte, Seeley’s Bay and Maxville, worked on the video with another artist who the Ontario Festival of Small Halls welcomed in September – Dave Gunning! He recorded, mixed and mastered the song for them. We love those Small Halls connections!
The Once got some good news recently: They covered the Queen song You’re my best friend a few years back and put it on their second album Row upon Row. The good folk who attended our holiday shows last year in Seeley’s Bay and Almonte might remember hearing that song live! The little video they made for it made its way into the Korean top 100 charts – and it has now reached more than 2.5 million plays! Have a look here.
We have a new venue in the holiday shows schedule this time around: St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Maxville. It hasn’t yet been on the small halls schedule, so we’re excited to welcome St. Andrew’s to the bill. We hear it has an amazing history within the Maxville community and we can’t wait to hear Còig add more memories there on Dec. 2. Look here for more info about that show.
Two weeks until the hall-iday shows get us into the festive spirit! See you soon!
