Foley's East Coast Pub Show

Foley's East Coast Pub Show

Foley's East Coast Pub Band serves up a lively evening of music and storytelling drawn from artists like Great Big Sea, Lennie Gallant, The Rankin Family, Anne Murray, Rita MacNeil, and more, mixing familiar favourites with the kind of historical and cultural threads that somehow never made it into the classroom. The lineup features Fiddling Jay Edmunds, Andrew Martin, Ron Kervin, Theresa Foley, Sheila Prophet, and Norma Curtis, with Hugh Foley handling storytelling duties. There may even be a screeching in of a willing guest! The result is less a formal concert than a full-on Celtic kitchen-party gathering - spirited, surprising, and rich with the kind of songs and stories that stick with you. Join us for 2 hours of kitchen party fun at 7pm in Pembroke's beautiful Festival Hall.

Theresa (Verschelden) and Hugh are extra excited to bring this show to Pembroke where they both went to school, were married and had their first 2 kids. We hope we see all our friends and relatives who are still in the area! As they say in Newfoundland "Long may your big jib draw!"

Foley's Celtic Pub Band has been performing for over 10 years with both an Irish Pub show celebrating St. Patrick and everything Irish and Foley's East Coast Pub Show which is so similar but with a Canadian accent - the same warm, convivial spirit, but with the songbook tilted toward this country's Celtic roots and east-coast soul.
