These Canadian lads and lasses will have you begging for more with their quick comedy and even quicker feet. Their exhilarating show defies description and certainly brings a whole new meaning to the dance known as the “Highland Fling”. The Terrors exude a charisma and enthusiasm that leaves audiences smiling from ear to ear!

 

 

This Irish Crooner blends his melodious voice with his dynamic work on guitar. Jim excels on mandolin, acoustic bass and cittern. Your Irish Eyes will be smiling when you hear the songs of Jim Hancock!  Jim Hancock, a founding member of the Burly Minstrels, longtime pickin' partner of Ky Hote, guest artist to: Cantiga, Celtic Stone, Minstrels of Mayhem, As You Like It, the New World Renaissance Band and Empty Hats. Steve Gillette, Michelle Shocked, David Amram, Brian Cutean and many others have enjoyed Jim's legendary ability to accompany and "jam" with almost anyone.

 

You'll want to sit in the front row to witness the carryings-on of Cat O’Toole, Heather McBride, Skye Macleod and Iona McMann. These “Wailing Banshees” entertain, amuse, and delight while rocking your kilt to and fro. Among their song and dance routines are melodious odes to their favorite Fling fun...flirting with the men folk!
