A band with a considerable amount of locally-based talent will be playing in Battleford this Feb. 5.
Back of the Bus will perform at Battlefords Community Players Clubhouse, 102 - 26th St., Battleford, beginning at 8 p.m.
The event will celebrate the band’s release of its new CD, Live at the Bassment. The CD was recorded live at the Bassment in Saskatoon.
Cost of entry is $5, but they will be selling CDs and admission is refunded with a CD purchase.
Those interested in purchasing can do so directly from the band, or at Clans, Celts and Clover on Broadway in Saskatoon.
The band performs a mix of Celtic music — traditional Irish, Scottish and East Coast music sounds.
The musicians have extensive backgrounds in music and include Jim Walls and Sheila Vaadeland, both from the Battlefords, and Paul Runalls, a longtime Cut Knife resident.
Anna Bekolay and Kathi Davis-Lepage round out the five-person band.
