Traditional Irish and Scottish music and sing-a-long English folk will be on offer at Mountbatten next month.
The Island’s ceilidh band, Slainte Va, will takeover Mountbatten’s John Cheverton Centre with songs, dances, jigs and reels on Thursday 6th February.
The band combines traditional music with well-known covers, using its unique blends of fiddle, guitar, flute and bodhran.
David Weatherston of Slainte Va says:
“We are delighted to play at the hospice, a wonderful organisation we have supported for many years.
“We hope to entertain everyone with a wide range of tunes and songs and we are really looking forward to the evening.”
The band has pledged to donate 100% of its proceeds from CD sales on the night to Mountbatten.
Nigel Hartley, CEO of Mountbatten, says:
“We have had some really fantastic concerts over the last few months and it has been great to see so many people coming to Mountbatten to enjoy an evening of live music.
“We are very much looking forward to another memorable night.
“To anyone who has not been before, come and be surprised.”
Tickets cost £10 and are available on the door, with wine and canapes included. The concert starts at 19:30.
