Founding VFMS Member Denis returns with friends to perform music from his beloved Ireland in this feature. Denis will sing, play guitar and Irish harp, and be joined prominently by his long-time musical partner, the wonderfully proficient Lanny Pollet, who will play Irish flutes. Together they will re-create some of the most beautiful and enduring songs and tunes from that amazing tradition.

Denis is also bringing in some of his singing friends, including long-time folk favourite Maureen Campbell, to lend harmonies to both slow and gorgeous Irish airs, as well as some lively toe-tapping pub songs.

St Paddy’s Day shows generally tend to be lively sing-along events (and there will be some of that for sure), but Denis is also interested in digging deeper into the musical traditions of that musical nation, meaning you’ll hear music both fast and slow, familiar and unfamiliar, and traditional and newly- composed.

A rousing Irish time is guaranteed for all. And as they say over there: “You’re all very welcome!”
