A Night With the Celts, Meow, Thursday 27 March, 8:00 pm
Gwen and Keith Giles from Auckland have delighted many of us around festivals and singarounds, will be here for one performance only. With Gwen's stunningly clear, lilting voice and Keith's sensitive guitar accompaniment, they breathe life into many beautiful songs. But then Gwen can also be downright sassy. They perform mainly Irish folk music, songs with stories etched in laughter, love and loss.
