Kilts & Ceilidh Music will take over
the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Chinese Gardens
Oh look – a teapot ad cup lantern set… There will be incredible lanterns everywhere… speaking of which… I wonder if I can get a “kilt lantern”. The18th Annual Winter Solstice Lantern Festival, in partnership with Secret Lantern Society.
I am very excited to be part of the 18th Annual Winter Solstice Lantern Festival this year.
The Black Bear Rebels Ceilidh Music group will be playing traditional Celtic
& Scottish songs. I have been playing my accordion with them for 2
years now, and they haven't stopped inviting me back, we have lots of fun, so I
must be doing something right.
So we thought it would be great to bring this fun, and songs to share with the
Winter Solstice Lantern Festival. And the chance to wear kilts in the
Chinese Classical Gardens just seemed like a very Gung Haggis type of thing to
do.
Organized & produced by the Secret Later Society, their artistic director
and founder is Naomi Singer – whom I first met when we were both awarded the BC
Community Achievement Award. Since then, we thought it would be great
to participate in each other's events. Naomi has helped out with last
year's Gung Haggis Fat Choy Dinner (secretly of course)… and while I have
attended past Winter Solstice Lantern Festival Events at The Roundhouse
Community Cetre, Granville Island ad Chinatown – this is the first time I will
be a performer!
We will be performing 2 sets in the Hall of 100 Rivers:
6:30-7:30pm
8:00 to 9:00pm
Please wear kilts if you have them – we will do a photo op for 6:15 or 7:45
