Christmas arrives in fine form next weekend when the Fireside Fiddlers bring their brand of old-time fiddlin’ to the Colebrook Country Club with a holiday twist. The Fireside Fiddlers, who have built up a regional following with their appearances everywhere from the Lancaster Farmers Market to the Moose Festival, come in from out of the cold to warm up the night with a host of Christmas classics mixed in with their familiar takes on mountain and old-time tunes popular on both sides of the border.
It all gets underway at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 3 at the Country Club on Route 26 just outside of the village. Sponsored by the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts, Charlie Jordan, President of the GNWCA, said, “It’s a perfect night for the show, coming the day after CDDA Late Nite Madness in downtown Colebrook and the night before the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus by fire truck for the Kiwanis Children’s Christmas Party.”
The Fireside Fiddlers have put together a roster of everyone’s favorites for their Country Club show, from “Joy To The World” and “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing” to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” These will be mixed in with popular fiddle tunes such as “St. Anne’s Reel,” “Old Joe Clark” and Red Wing.”
The Fireside Fiddlers were formed by area fiddler Patrick Ross, who rounded up all the regional fiddlers he knew. After Ross moved from the immediate region, the group was headed up by a talented Wales native, Dick Rosser, who kept the group going through his strong leadership. The group has released three CDs, including “The Fireside Fiddlers Christmas Album” (2013). This album and the group’s brand new CD, “The Fireside Fiddlers Live!” (2016) will be on sale at the Country Club concert.
Performing at the Colebrook show will be fiddlers Joyce Ball, Paul Cormier, Terry Churchill, Lyndall Demers, Gordon Gray and Charlie Jordan, with Roland Cotnoir on guitar, Tom Bishop on banjo and JoAnne Gilman on bass.
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.
