THE EAST POINTERS

Music |
1st June 2017

Thu 1 Jun | Doors 7.30pm
Tickets: | £14 STD | £16 OTD

The East Pointers hail from Canada’s Prince Edward Island and feature banjoist/vocalist/step-dancer Koady Chaisson, fiddle player/vocalist Tim Chaisson, and guitarist/vocalist Jake Charron. 

The cousins Chaisson are part of the sixth generation of a heralded legacy of fiddlers and folk musicians from the island.  When Jake would visit PEI a late-night kitchen party was sure to follow – fiddles and friends, guitars and Guinness, banjos and bad jokes.  As their trunk of traditional and original tunes – some with an Irish influence, some Scottish, others rooted in the Canadian Maritimes – started to fill up, the trio realized it was time to put some to tape and take them on the road.  The result is The East Pointers, who released their debut album ‘Sweet Victory’ in October 2015 and are already attracting worldwide attention.

Venue: Malt Room – Cabaret seating
Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult
