CHRIS MILLS HOUSE CONCERT<br />Paul and Helene’s house in St Johns<br /><br />Friday October 7 - Arrive by 6. Music will start at 6:30. <br />Seating limited to 24. Please REGISTER using the link below to get address and more details.<br /><br />We are hosting an unusual (for us) and interesting house concert with Chris Miles, one of the important voices in Scottish traditional music, in our home on October 7. We hope you can come.<br />Free, and there will be a basket for donations.<br /><br />Chris Miles performs all over Scotland and Ireland, at festivals, clubs and pubs. She is an organizer of the respected Fife Traditional Singing Festival in Falkland, Fife. Our friend Casey Casebeer, who is helping Chris organize her time in the US, has this to say about Chris: &quot;Chris has a low, vibrant voice and a huge collection of songs at her command. You’ll hear Scottish and Irish traditional songs, ballads, maybe a bawdy Robert Burns, or a contemporary anti-war song…you never know what her extraordinary repertoire will produce. She will be accompanied by the crisp and nuanced guitar of Gearaidh (Gary) Matthews of Drogheda, Ireland&quot;.<br /><br />Covid - oh that again. We are tired of it too. Life has to go on but it&#39;s still a nasty disease even for those who are fully vaccinated. We&#39;ll wear masks indoors and we hope you will too, and of course, please don’t come if you have any symptoms. We’ll move the snacks outdoors if the weather permits.
