Black Angus returns to the VFMS to celebrate the Green Day in song. Gareth Hurwood (lead vocals and guitar) and Alex MacCuaig (stand-up bass and harmony vocals) will present an evening of contemporary and traditional Irish music. Many of the songs are well known or easy to learn, so please sing along.

The two laddies have made a lasting and impassioned musical side-career playing material that ranges from Irish folk to the New Age blues of Harry Manx at local pubs like the Irish Times, the Bard and Banker, and the Penny Farthing. The songs of Stan Rogers, Christy Moore, Van Morrison, David Francey, and others have found their way into the mix, along with some original compositions.

Our feature act will be preceded by what is arguably Victoria�s best weekly acoustic Open Stage session where musicians from fledglings to professionals can perform a 10 minute set for one of the most welcoming, attentive and participative audiences in town. Aspiring Open Stage performers can sign-up with the VFMS Host between 7:00 and 7:30pm to do a set but should get there early to improve their chances of getting on the evening�s line-up.
