The renowned Celtic band Exorna will kick off the St. Patrick’s Day season at their “Galva Warm-up” held Saturday, March 6 at the Galva Arts Council Coffeehouse. The special date is a week earlier than the council’s “second Saturday” coffeehouse schedule.
For the past seven years, Exorna has been entertaining audiences with music transported directly from the pubs and parlors of frontman Victor McMullan’s native Northern Ireland. Exorna’s music is delivered in an underpolished and authentic way that’s both lighthearted and heartfelt. The band features McMullan on vocals and percussion, Tim Duggan on guitar and harmonica, and Forrest Harris on fiddle, accordion, tenor banjo and pennywhistle.
Doors open at 7 p.m., with music beginning at 7:30. Coffee and refreshments are provided free of charge, although donations in support of the arts council and its featured performers are gratefully accepted.
