FARMINGTON — New England Celtic Arts will present The Gawler Family at Old South Church in Farmington on Thursday,  March 26. The  curtain is at 7 p.m., with a pre-show jam one hour prior.

Several monthly concerts are planned for the Old South Concert Series in Farmington beginning with the iconic Gawler Family.

Although the Gawlers are best known for their collection of dance tunes in the Scots-Irish and French- Canadian traditions, their repertoire may include a gutsy Appalachian work song, a “Sweet Honey in the Rock” a cappella number or an ode to everyday life. As with any Gawler concert, one can expect guests to join in the program at any time.

Joining Ellen Gawler on stage will be her three daughters, Molly, Edith, Elsie, son-in-law Bennet Konesni. They bring an eclectic assortment of old and new sounds from many folk traditions. They accompany their warm interweaving family harmonies with fiddles, banjo, wooden banjo, cello, guitar, ukulele and piano as well as a few surprises. Whether they are crooning a quietly poignant ballad or delivering a rollicking fiddle tune, their unique arrangements are especially engaging and often go along with anecdotes of historical or humorous content. The Gawlers have earned a beloved place in the hearts of their audiences for their infectious spirit and sparkling musicianship to the merriment of folks of all ages.

Old South Church is located at 235 Maine St. Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for students and UMF with ID. More information is available at: http://www.necelticarts.com Reservations are strongly suggested.Call 207-491-5919.
