Clanna Morna, Celtic Folk Band

The Summerland Community Centre is thrilled to be hosting Victoria’s Celtic band, “Clanna Morna,” which will perform on Friday, July 26, at 7 p.m.

Get ready for a lively evening of entertainment! Clanna Morna plays carefully crafted arrangements with spirited energy and captivating storytelling.

From high-energy instrumentals to slow ballads, drinking songs and sea shanties, Clanna Morna brings a unique West Coast influence to Celtic and English folk.

Members of the band have been arranging and performing traditional Celtic and original music together for three years, sharing their melodic arrangements and stories both locally and internationally.

Comprised of an ensemble of multi-instrumentalists, their collective musicianship and attention to detail contribute to a unique audience experience, featuring both familiar and lesser-known folk ballads and tunes.

The band features Cody Baresich (guitar, mandolins, Irish bouzouki, tenor banjo, percussion, vocals), Finn Letourneau (fiddle, banjo, vocals), and Mark Leigh (accordion, tin whistles, harmonium, vocals).

They take inspiration from legendary predecessors including The Dubliners, The Pogues, The Bothy Band, Planxty and The Clancy Brothers.

Their debut album “From the Lowlands to the High Seas” was released on CD and all streaming services in June 2023.

Don’t miss this delightful evening of great music!

The ambience will be cafe-style, and a cash bar will be available for wine and beer. Tickets are $20 (cash) for the public, available at Artisans of the Okanagan July 2 onwards, and $15 for Centre members. They are expected to sell quickly, so get your tickets early!
