PHILLIPS — North Sea Gas, one of Scotland’s most popular and widely known folk bands, is returning to Phillips.
The band will play 7 p.m. Saturday, April 28, at the Phillips Area Community Center. They also played at the center in 2012.
Guitars, mandolin, fiddle, bouzouki, harmonica, whistles, bodhrans, banjo and good humor are all part of the entertainment. The band has received numerous awards for their music, including Gold and Silver Disc awards from the Scottish Music Industry Association, and regularly have played to sell-out crowds at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and around the world – including America, Canada, Germany, Austria, and Turkey.
The North Sea Gas show (and their albums; they’ve released a total of 19), consists of traditional, contemporary, and self-penned material put together in a style all their own, along with their Scot’s humor and storytelling.
“Their appearance in Phillips six years ago,” says Pam Matthews, PACC’s concert organizer, “was the beginning of our Celtic series and they remain one of the most remembered and popular Celtic bands we’ve ever presented. It’s no exaggeration to say they’re back by popular demand.”
