Terry Boyle and Ceilidh Briscoe

Music on the Dock – Terry Boyle & Ceilidh Briscoe

Terry Boyle is a much traveled singer/songwriter from Dublin, Ireland and lives on Vancouver Island. With a vast repertoire of Celtic songs, some teary, some cheery, some sing-along and some from the archives, Terry has a song or story for almost every occasion. As a songwriter Terry’s style is varied, evolving and always entertaining. Using a variety of tunings and finger-pickings, his songs are both autobiographical and descriptive of both past and present._Ceilidh Briscoe is _from Victoria, BC, a five time North American Fiddle Champion, an All-Ireland Fiddle Champion, and has studied for six years with the fabulous 5 time All-Ireland Champion, Brian Conway. Ceilidh is proud to have performed in Ireland, the UK, Scandinavia, Germany, China, and across North America with the world renowned “Riverdance”.

Last year they presented an unforgettable evening of Celtic music and songs interspersed with humour and Terry’s original compositions. This year they look forward to another sold out show and to engaging you with their dynamic jigs, reels and the occasional far fetched story.

Mark Wonneck

Music on the Dock – Mark Wonneck

A veteran of folk festivals and concert stages, Mark Wonneck is a gifted song-writer, story-singer, singer-of-songs, story-teller… all
the combinations. He is probably best known as Larry Douglas, one half of the folk-comedy duo, The Douglas Brothers, who emerged out of Winnipeg onto the folk scene in the late eighties.

While he still likes to perform as a Douglas Brother whenever he can, more recently he has developed a well-earned reputation as a captivating and insightful solo performer. His songs can be tender, goofy, intense, thought-provoking and gritty – sometimes all at once.

Audiences can expect to laugh, cry, remember things they’ve long forgotten, and in the end wonder when they will be able to hear him again.
