What’s a House Concert ?
Here’s a really unique way to experience live music – a ‘House Concert’. Yes, that’s right – a concert at someone’s home. It’s a perfect, relaxed way to see some of the best songwriters and musicians on tour throughout BC. You’ll love them. Everyone is there to listen, there’s no bar chatter or blenders whirling drinks or freakishly tall people standing in front of the stage. Plus, the musicians have time to tell stories and talk about their songs. Cosy Sheridan with songwriter and multi instrumentalist TR Ritchie will be coming through Ashcroft on Saturday, Feb. 12. Music starts at 8 pm. Please phone (250) 453 9100 to reserve your seat and for the house location for newcomers.
