Calan made their Colebrook debut in June last year amid tornado warnings that had sent them to the basement of the theater shortly before the show was to start. Ultimately, the power went out because of high winds and strong storms and so, with no lighting for the theater, the concert was held in the first floor gallery of the center, where there was plenty of natural light for the concert. But that was only fitting—considering the high quality and high energy this group brings to its music—it matched the weather that day.
Calan brings together the remarkable talents of five young musicians, giving a fresh and vibrant sound to traditional Welsh music. With a contemporary and lively approach they breathe new life into the old traditions through their sparkling melodies, foot tapping tunes and spirited and energetic performances of Welsh step dancing.
They blast their way through some of the old favorite reels, jigs and hornpipes with fast paced and uplifting arrangements before melting into some of the most beautiful and haunting songs.
With their unique instrumental blend of accordion, fiddle, guitar, Welsh pipes, Welsh harp and the percussive sound of the Welsh clogs, Calan has certainly found its musical niche and the plan is to continue to delight audiences far and wide.
Tickets are available at Fiddleheads, 110 Main St., Colebrook, or at the door. General admission prices for the night are: adults, $15; students, $12; children under 12, $5. The show was highly successful last year and is sure to bring in another large audience again this year.
