Còig is celebrating 10 years of spreading holiday Cheer with the 2024 annual Christmas tour!

Nova Scotia’s Còig presents an evening of Celtic holiday music, with lively instrumentals, stirring vocals, and festive favorites from their Christmas albums, “Carols” and “Carols Too”.

As an extra special addition to the 10th anniversary shows, Rachel Davis, Darren McMullen, and Margie Beaton will be joined by founding member Jason Roach! A crowd favorite, Jason left the band in 2019 to pursue other artistic endeavors and stay closer to home. We’re absolutely thrilled that he is going to be back with us this year for the holiday tour!

Celebrate the season in style with one of Atlantic Canada’s premiere Celtic supergroups as they take concertgoers 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 and Classical, to Swing, giving your favorite carols a fresh

and original sound.

“Carols is exceptional, from start to finish. And, sure, it’s overall a Celtic set, but the band brings a multitude of influences to the music which not only keeps the whole thing sounding fresh and original, but should also draw in some folks more partial to Folk, Classical, Contemporary Pop, and there’s even a little bit of Swing.

The musicianship and vocals are perfect, there’s a nice balance of instrumental and vocal pieces, and “Carols” is a robust 57.5 minutes long (no skimpy wish sandwich here). Hard to pick favourites, since its all so good, but the opener—“Carol Of The Celts”—grabbed me when Còig shifted into high gear about 2 minutes in. And if “Swingle Jingle Bells” doesn’t put a smile on your face, I think there might be something wrong with you.
