Event Description

Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering, Open Stage 7:30pm, Feature Performer 9pm, Oct 30 - The Ecclestons, Everyone welcome, $8 (cash)

'Full Contact Folk' best describes what The Ecclestons bring to the stage. They are a folk band in the true sense of the word, playing music of the people for the people!

After 23 years together as a band, recording 4 CDs and touring all over Western Canada and the US, siblings Colleen (guitar and vocals) Kelt (bass, penny whistle, and vocals) and adopted brother Greg Madill (bouzouki, mandolin, bodhran and vocals) have kept busy doing their solo projects for the last few years.

Known for their infectious humour, joyfulness, and harmony, this Victoria-based band has a massive Celtic and Canadian repertoire alongside solid songwriting tackling everything from 'bombs falling from the sky' to the fires raging in Alberta and Montana, to the sirens’ song and dancing outside on a summer night.

Growing up in the nomadic tradition of University and Air force brats, they have lived all across Canada and beyond, bringing a deep worldliness to what they do. Away from the stage they are actors, ex-postie, travellers, professors, parents and grandparents and they bring that depth to their writing always exploring the human condition. Their collective energy is profoundly life affirming.

This show is not to be missed!
