FOLEY’S EAST COAST PUB

Sunday Sep 20, 2026  2pm and 7pm
Cogeco Studio, Showplace Performance Centre

Think of it as Foley’s Irish Pub with a Canadian accent — the same warm, convivial spirit, but with the songbook tilted toward this country’s Celtic roots and east-coast soul. Celtic Pub Band serves up a lively evening of music and storytelling drawn from artists like Great Big Sea, Lennie Gallant, The Rankin Family, Anne Murray, Rita MacNeil, and more, mixing familiar favourites with the kind of historical and cultural threads that somehow never made it into the classroom. The lineup features fiddler Jay Edmunds, Andrew Martin, Ron Kervin, Theresa Foley, Sheila Prophet, and Norma Curtis, with Hugh Foley handling storytelling duties and, as always, a few fabulous guests likely to wander into the mix. The result is less a formal concert than a full-on Celtic kitchen-party gathering — spirited, surprising, and rich with the kind of songs and stories that stick with you.
