Naby comes from a lineage of persons known in West Africa as griots

Besides being superlative musicians,
griots are verbal artisans, oral historians,
and the guardians of centuries-old traditions.

his father before him, and so on.
Thus, in addition to being trained as a master musician,
Naby also knows the stories and histories of his people.
He is a walking treasure of talent,
but of knowledge as well…

The Celtic Cross
a Victoria Fringe play heads north to the valley
Matthew Jackson, a co-founder of Wanderweg Productions – a new theatre company based in Seattle, WA. is bringing his original two-man show, The Celtic Cross, to the Victoria Fringe Festival, and they have a little window of time after the Fringe and before their next booking…
The Celtic Cross
In Northern Ireland, two communities are at odds with each other. Their conflict is not only political, but ideological. The Protestant Loyalist side believes that Northern Ireland should remain part of the United Kingdom. The Catholic Nationalist side believes that Northern Ireland should become part of the Republic of Ireland. “The Troubles” refer to the thirty years of violence and terrorism between these two groups. Peace resolutions in the late 1990s brought an end to the sectarian violence, but the peace achieved is a shaky one.
The Celtic Cross is the story of the unlikely friendship that forms between Jacob and Thomas, two young men in Belfast, Northern Ireland; Jacob is a Protestant Loyalist and Thomas is a Catholic Nationalist. Set in the early 1990s, before the peace agreement, these two men have lived their entire life during “the Troubles.” Although they are conditioned to hate each other, an improbable friendship unfolds, but their circumstances force them to choose between their friendship and their beliefs.
This powerful new drama explores what it means to be Protestant, Catholic, Irish, British, too powerful for your own good, but too weak to change anything. But at its deepest – at its core – the play shows these two characters in their struggle to find humanity; in their friend, in their enemy, but most importantly – in themselves.
“The Celtic Cross is a beautiful, harrowing, captivating play with heartfelt, heartbreaking characters and the perfect mix of history, timeliness, and looking forward. In the tradition of so much good theater, Wanderweg’s two-person traveling production feels grand and sweeping even as it hits so close to home.”
– Laurie Frankel, Author (“Atlas of Love” and “Goodbye for Now”)

April 5th and on
already we are in April…sure feels like it’s going by fast……..now if the weather would just catch up…as in some more sunshine…(feels soooo good when the sun does shine)
well, we do our best to simulate sunshine….such as having Dayna Manning coming in on Thursday April 5th….sharing the evening’s lineup will be Ryan McMahon, from Ladysmith these days…
Friday is a huge treat in that Diamond Joe White does not venture to the stage much these past years,…least not around here …with Nathan Tinkham, we plan on making this Good Friday a great Friday…
Saturday April 7th is a day for poets or those that wish to be…..a workshop in the afternoon with Slam Poet Jeremy Loveday and a performance in the evening keeps the ‘spoken word’ in the forefront…special guest to end the evening is a visit from Emily Spiller (a must see/hear)
Sunday is a performance in the afternoon for Annie Borch, her monthly visit…come see why I gave her the second Sunday of each month…
Easter Sunday has Bill Bourne returning to the Showroom for one of his extensive musical journeys …..always a treat (and again introducing Emily Spiller)
Monday appears to be a day off and then the monthly Blues Tuesday returns. …always fun
Special Treat….Dianna Braithwaite-Chris Whiteley and friends on Wednesday April 11th will be a stellar evening of entertainment….such a handle on that 40’s -50’s blues genre…..a do not miss concert
and on Friday Kelly Joe Phelps…what can I say….sorry for everyone having to make decisions , but this is another ‘do not miss’ concert….a coup having him return, he has a huge American following….known for his kinda bluesy/folk acoustic guitar stylings and lyrical content, we trust you will do the homework and become a Kelly Joe fan..
for the younger audiences (under 30…haha) Jeremy Fisher returns…had over 135 viewers on our ‘live stream’ last visit…..cause he connects with his audiences in such a way to make them life long fans
Lena’s Living Room on Sunday the 15th of April keeps that ‘friendly living room jam’ kinda feel in the venue as she brings her musical friends to join her
Dress Rehearsal Tuesday again gives all those looking to get their ‘legs’ a chance….
and lastly on this ‘quick reminder’ is the Lynn Miles concert (with special guest Keith Glass from Prairie Oyster) on Wednesday April 18th….she is a musical treat , they say she can take ‘ being forlorn into a state of grace’
again, sorry for giving everyone too many choices, but there appears to be no reason to not show up for at least one if not more of this months great performances….hope to see you soon
(remember our Showdough deal…..$100 Canadian gets you $120 of Duncan Garage Showroom Showdough)
