This internationally acclaimed and multiple award winning band brings fiery Celtic high-energy style to the stage as its musical core. Còig easily shifts between century-old tunes of past generations to original and upbeat compositions, featuring the band’s range of over a dozen instruments (vocals, fiddles, guitars, banjo, mandolin, viola, bouzouki, whistles and more). With driving tunes, haunting songs and infectious energy. Còig is an unparalleled music force.
The band has produced two albums, award-winning Rove in 2017 and their new 2019 release Ashlar. The band took on the task of putting together their first Christmas album with great success. A second Christmas album is in the works under the guidance of well-known singer/song writer and highly respected producer, Dave Gunning of Nova Scotia.
