Get ready for a great St. Patrick’s Day concert with real Irish folk music!

Kelly Sloan & JIG (James, Ian, Greg) have sold out every time they have played a St. Patrick’s Day concert in Ottawa in the last several years. Come out to the Motel Chelsea on March 15 and hear why!

Kelly Sloan, originally from Almonte, will be joined by JIG for a concert of Irish music and song. Kelly is now based in Toronto and has had a long and successful career performing and recording her own original songs, and that have been played many times on CBC radio. However, her family and valley roots are rich in the Irish tradition.

Kelly has performed her Irish repertoire at Almonte’s Celtfest, and on multiple St. Patrick’s Days among others, and will be singing a choice selection of Irish ballads and songs accompanied by JIG, who will also play some instrumental selections of jigs, reels, and more, from the Irish tradition.

The three members of JIG are among the best players of traditional celtic music in the region. Those of you who know the local scene will already be familiar with the playing of James Stephens (fiddle/mandolin/cittern), Ian Clark (guitar), and Greg Brown (fiddle/concertina/banjo/bouzouki).
