Vinta (Emilyn Stam, John David Williams, Nathan Smith, Robert Alan Mackie) release their debut album of instrumental originals at Small World Music Centre, Artscape on Shaw St.

"Beacons" features beautiful melodies dancing on colourful arrangements, played on fiddles, accordion, clarinet and upright bass. Inspired by the old music and social dance traditions of western and northern Europe, this chamber-trad quartet is "a huge breath of fresh air with their wonderful, creative reimagining of Balfolk dance forms" (James Stephens, Artistic Director, Gatineau Hills Fiddle Festival)

The first half of the evening will be a sit down, theatre style concert. The second half will be a social folk dance - balfolk - feel free to join in or listen and watch! More info and tickets at www.vintamusic.com
