ABOUT CÒIG
Novas Scotia’s Còig presents an evening of fiery Celtic holiday music, with lively instrumentals, stirring vocals and festive favourites from their Christmas albums, “Carols” and “Carols Too”.
Celebrate the season in style with one of Atlantic Canada’s premiere Celtic supergroups as they take concert goers on a musical journey with their renditions of timeless Christmas classics, brimming instrumentals and high-energy original tunes.
An exceptional show from start to finish, Còig brings various influences to their Celtic holiday mix ranging from Folk, Classical, to Swing, giving your favourite carols a fresh and original sound. The quartet features four accomplished multi-instrumentalists and award-winning musicians, Rachel Davis, Darren McMullen, and special guests Margie Beaton and Thierry Clouette.
Còig is known for their absolute mastery of the Celtic Cape Breton style, lovely harmonies, and great arrangements of songs both old and new. This year, along with Darren McMullen on guitars, mandolin, banjo, bouzouki, and whistles, and Montreal guitarist/foot percussionist Thierry Clouette, the lineup will feature the great fiddler (and dancer) Margie Beaton—who, along with the amazing Rachel Davis will give us that inimitable two-fiddle sound that makes the music of Còig such an energetic rush!
“Còig is one of those staples for Atlantic Canada’s traditional music. With all the fiddle and mandolin (and piano, guitar, banjo, viola, bouzouki, whistles and about a dozen more instruments), they’re a mainstay in the genre.” - The East
