Event Description

March 12
Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering, Open Stage 7:30pm, Feature Performers The Hounds of Cuchulain at 9pm, 1110 Hillside Avenue, $8 cash, Everyone welcome!

The Hounds of Cuchulain perform a wide selection of Irish, Scottish, English, and original songs in the Celtic tradition, playing with an authenticity and energy which brings the tradition to life. Stylistically inspired by such folk giants as the Dubliners, the Pogues, and the Corries, the group’s performances feature rowdy pub songs, historical ballads, ripping fiddle tunes, engaging storytelling, and haunting airs on the Irish harp.

The Hounds are: Wolf Edwards on lead vocal and guitar; Devo Bernard on the 5-string banjo; Madeleine Townley on vocals, Irish harp, and tin whistle; and fiddler and master of harmony Briana Kennedy. They also occasionally perform with special guest John Kelly on mandolin and Irish tenor banjo.

The Hounds of Cuchulain have been performing together since September 2021, and have already gained a dedicated following in Victoria, as well as touring all over Vancouver Island – all the way to the Gate Theatre in Port McNeill and everywhere in between! In their first year, they have also performed for the Irish Consulate, recorded a video with the Irish Rovers, released an album (Rebels, Rogues, and Roustabouts), and headlined numerous shows for the Victoria Highland Games Association.

Join The Hounds tonight for a rollicking head-start on St Paddy’s Day celebrations!
