SCOTTISH BAND, NORTH SEA GAS, IN WRENTHAM APRIL 27
North Sea Gas will be performing on Friday, April 27, 7:30 p.m., at the Original Congregational Church in the center of Wrentham.
Over thirty-seven years and stronger than ever! North Sea Gas is one of Scotland’s most popular folk bands with great vocals and tremendous three part harmonies. Guitars, Mandolin, Fiddle, Bouzouki, Harmonica, Whistles, Bodhrans, Banjo and good humour are all part of the entertainment.
They have received Gold and Silver Disc awards from the Scottish Music Industry Association and regularly have sold out shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and around the world!
The band consists of Dave Gilfillan (founding member, playing guitar, banjo, mandola, bodhran, foot drum, harmonica and whistle), Grant Simpson (playing fiddle, singing harmony vocals and the occasional solo, and plays guitar, bouzouki and mandola), and Ronnie (Mac) MacDonald (playing guitar and bouzouki, and singing both lead and harmony vocals).
Their show, and their albums, consist of traditional, contemporary and self-penned material put together, in a style all their own, along with their humor and story-telling.
This proves popular during their regular tours of Scotland, America, Canada, Germany, Austria, Estonia, Turkey, and many other destinations both in and outside of their home in Scotland.
Every year there are appearances on TV and Radio on both sides of the Atlantic including “Late Night Saturday,” “Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour,” and “Song of the Mountains” shown on select PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) TV stations in the U.S. They have released 19 albums with “When We Go Rolling Home” being the most recent and are constantly adding new material to their shows.
Tickets for the concert are $15 in advance and $20 at the door, available at the church office, 508-384-3110, or at

The event will be in the Fellowship Hall in the rear of the church.
