HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2007-11-15, Page 23Ring in the festive season with lively fiddle tunes and high stepping dancers as Scott Woods presents Old Time Christmas. This special concert will be held on Sunday, Dec. 2, at 2 p.m. at the Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. This concert is being hosted by St. James Anglican Church, Middleton and Town and Country Support Services. This fast paced, two-hour concert combines country gospel, perennial favourites and a generous helping of humour. Audience members will be treated to one of Canada’s best talents – Woods – known as the fiddler with the flying fingers and the magic bow. Woods is a fiddling sensation and has performed to enthusiastic audiences throughout Canada, the U.S. and in Holland. Woods has captured all the major Canadian fiddling titles, including the Canadian Open Fiddle Champion, Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Champion, and the Canadian Fiddle Entertainer of the year. For seven years he was the musical director and played the part of Don Messer in Memories of Don Messer’s Jubilee, the tribute show which toured across Canada. In addition, he has several recordings to his credit. As a young boy, Woods studied classical violin. He plays several other instruments, but his favourite is fiddle – whether it’s classical, jazz, big band, country, swing, Celtic or old time music. Old Time Christmas promises to put everyone in the festive mood with a show that features a six piece band, including Ivan Felker on guitar and vocals, Karl Watson on bass, Bruce Woods on drums and fiddle, Carolyn Woods on piano and Kendra Woods Norris on fiddle, accordion and clarinet. The show also features the talents of guest vocalist, Gini Williams. She has appeared many times with the Scott Woods Show over the past 18 years. Her warm, mellow voice is a treat, especially on the seasonal songs. Meryl Norris adds her step dancing talents along with Linsey Beckett on dance and fiddle and Tyler Beckett on drums and fiddle. This concert is a joint fundraising event for St. James Anglican Church, Middleton and Town and Country Support Services. The auditorium at Central Huron Secondary School is a spacious venue for the concert and the facility is wheelchair accessible. Following the concert there will be an opportunity to meet the performers and enjoy a reception with Christmas treats and hot cider. Tickets are available in advance and at the door at $15 each for adults and $5 for children 12 and under, from Town and Country Support offices in Wingham, Clinton and Exeter; Ernie King Music in Goderich and Wingham; Maple and Moose in Blyth; Sweets, Treats and Memories in Clinton; Pete’s Paper Clip in Seaforth and from St. James Church or by calling Shelley at 482- 9264 or Doreen at 482-3344.
