Strings play at Peninsula Theatre

Local band The Fellowship of the Strings will be playing at the Peninsula Theatre, Woy Woy, on Friday, December 2.

Band members include Tahlia Racz on lead vocals and purple guitar, Ingrid Racz on lead vocals and percussion, Jackie Luke on hammered dulcimer, Irish bouzouki and vocals, Greg Wilson on para-celtic harp and Peninsula resident Jan Couchman on celtic harp.

Laycock St theatre marketing coordinator Ms Lisa Kelly said the band had a strong vocal focus.

"Their powerful, expressive voices have variously been described as mesmerising and captivating, with each providing the perfect harmonic foil for the other," Ms Kelly said.

"Songs from the last three decades are given a fresh interpretation - an old world sound with a contemporary edge.

"The unique quality of the group is a result of the inclusion of the rare combination of celtic harps, hammered dulcimer and percussion.

"Around 150 strings join forces to weave enchanting accompaniments, rhythmic backing, and celtic instrumental solos."

Concert goers can expect to hear songs and tunes including some from Uriah Heap, Sting, Kiss and Paul Simon.

The band's CD will be also available at the concert.

The concert will take place at the Peninsula Theatre, on the corner of McMasters and Ocean Beach Rds, Woy Woy, on December 2 from 7.30pm.
