David Somers & Celtic Cargo Cult make their monthly appearance at Zocalo Café

Born and raised in Ireland, David (Guitar/vocals) moved with his family to the Comox Valley 23 years ago. A love for song fuels his writing and performing. His CD “At the End of the Day” is an equal mix of original songs and unique arrangements of traditional Irish songs.

A guitarist and drummer in other parts of his musical life, long time Valley resident David Hext takes on Bass Guitar and vocals with what he calls his 'bash on regardless' style of play. David’s energy and humour are at the heart of the character of the band.

“Bootless” Bob Henderson (drums) born in eastern Canada and raised on both coasts (as well as some parts in between), Bob feels at home with rhythms of Celtic music and brings a wealth of experience to his playing. 

The band plays original music as well as unique arrangements of traditional and contemporary Irish songs, ranging from as far back as the 17^th century to the Pogues. They even sneak in a few Scottish songs. Together, Celtic Cargo Cult brings a fresh feel and a distinctive sound to old world music. From heartfelt ballads to high-energy pub songs and Celtic rock, their shows will stir your soul and move your feet.  

Zocalo Café, on the corner of Cliffe Avenue and 5^th street in Courtenay, provides an ideal intimate setting in which to enjoy a “pub night”, in a family friendly venue. In addition to its mouth-watering desserts and coffees, it also has a licensed dining menu with beer, wine and liqueurs.
