PHILLIPS — North Sea Gas, one of Scotland’s most popular and widely-known folk bands, is returning to Phillips. The band played at the Phillips Area Community Center in 2012 and will play there again on Saturday, April 28, as part of a 2018 American tour that includes Phillips as their only venue in Maine.
The show consists of traditional, contemporary and self-penned material put together in a style all their own, along with their Scottish humor and storytelling. Material includes vocals and three-part harmonies. Guitars, mandolin, fiddle, bouzouki, harmonica, whistles, bodhrans, banjo and good humor are all part of the entertainment.
The group has received numerous awards for their music, including Gold and Silver Disc awards from the Scottish Music Industry Association, and regularly have played to sell-out crowds at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and around the world.
The show, presented in a cabaret-style setting, begins at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 28, at the PACC, 21 Depot St. Admission is $15. Refreshments will be available. For more information, call 207-639-2630.
