New Fish

New Fish play traditional Irish and East Coast music along with some folk-rock, originals and other tunes people love to hear. All band members are multi-instrumentalists who can deliver jigs and reels with a ‘night back home’ kind of feel.

Halifax Wharf Rats

The Halifax Wharf Rats aren't your common everyday Celtic band. Brian Flanagan, Michelle Carlisle, Rick Chapman and Robert Graves are exactly the kind of folks you'd want to invite home for a kitchen party, a barbecue or to meet the family. With loads of Celtic and East Coast tunes along with contemporary music and good times in store, it's always best to come early and stay late when they’re around – just like they do “down home”. We won't go into each individual musician’s multiple talents; their music speaks for itself. Come and hear!
