The Butchart Gardens' summer festival presents Crikey Mor playing traditional Irish folk tunes.

The summer entertainment program is part of your general admission ticket.

Crikey Mor is a five piece Irish Trad band of awesomeness. Brought together by a shared love of Irish traditional music, Crikey Mor started out as a group of musicians getting together and playing Irish tunes every week at a local pub. The session caught the attention of music-lovers who wanted more, so some of the core members of the session decided to band together and bring this awesome music to the stage. Crikey Mor consists of Nancy Grossert on fiddle, Tasia MacKay on flute, Eric Reiswig on uilleann pipes, Jeremy Walsh on guitar, Andrew Morris on bodhran, and all on vocals—and hopefully a bunch of wild dancers in the audience.

Crikey Mor has since been performing in Victoria and all around Vancouver Island, including the Victoria Highland Games festival, Folkwest, Read Island Beach Fest, and even bringing their foot-stomping music north to the small Malcom Island town of Sointula, BC. Crikey Mor recently took part in CelticFest Vancouver 2014 in celebration of St. Paddy’s Day, performing four shows over the course of the festival.
