One of Scotland’s most popular folk bands will be bringing their highly entertaining brand of music to Threlkeld on Friday.
North Sea Gas features Dave Gilfillan, Grant Simpson and Ronnie MacDonald who have performed sell-out shows at venues around the world.
Their songs are backed by guitars, mandolin, fiddle, bouzouki, harmonica, whistles, bodhrans and banjo and the good humoured stories they tell are all part of the entertainment.
They have received gold and silver disc awards from the Scottish Music Industry Association and regularly have sold out shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and around the world.
They have released 22 albums with Hearth & Homeland being the most recent and are constantly adding new material to their shows. One of their previous albums, The Fire and the Passion of Scotland was Album of the Year at Celtic Radio in the United States, winning first place in the Jigs and Reels category as well as for the set of tunes on the album.
Their show, and their albums, consist of traditional, contemporary and self-penned material and are put together in a style all their own, along with their humour and story-telling.
They will be appearing at Threlkeld Village Hall on Friday February 24, at 8pm. Bar and box office from 7.15pm. Tickets £12 (£6 under 18) from www.threlkeldvillagehall.org
