www.wollcon.com.au/events/community-music/343-big-celtic-concert-featuring-qthe-con-artistsqIllawarra Folk Club Concert – Big Celtic Concert 7.30pm, Friday 1st April 2011 City Diggers Wollongong $15 Folk Club Members, $20 Non Members. www.illawarrafolkclub.org.au or 1 300 887 034 APRIL FOOLS DAY- BIG CELTIC CONCERT. If you missed the excitement of Paddy’s Day then you can make up for it on Friday April 1st. And we’re not fooling anyone. Energy, youth, musicianship, diversity and vibrancy will be the key note elements of the next Illawarra Folk Club Concert to be held at the City Diggers Club on April 1st at 7.30 pm. Leading the line-up will be The Cottars an international act from Cape Breton that the Boston Herald describes as being “so good and so young that they seem both a miracle and a pure jubilation!” Supporting the Cottars will be ‘The Con Artists’ a 25 strong combination of musicians, who’s background is in the Wollongong Conservatory of Music. The Cottars are, by many accounts, the hottest Celtic band to arise out of the rich musical landscape of Canada’s Cape Breton in recent years. They play fiddle, keyboards, whistles, Irish flute, bouzouki, guitars, and bodhráns, and they stepdance—all with an authority beyond their years. They also sing haunting Gaelic ballads, and harmonize with a sweetness that brings a tear to the eye. Even with their relative youth still apparent, it seems that The Cottars have been a part of Canada’s East Coast music scene for years. They have the nominations and the hardware to prove it, including East Coast Music Awards and Nova Scotia Music Industry Awards. They have the road record to prove it as well tours throughout Canada, shows in Europe and thirty-eight U.S states, two tours of Japan and appearances at major festivals around the world.
