OttaWassail

OttaWassail! A celebration of the season. Ian Robb, Ann Downey and Shelley Posen are joined by Ian’s JIIG bandmates, James Stephens, Ian Clark and Greg Brown, for an evening of traditional carols and wassails, songs, tunes and stories for the festive season. Guaranteed to make late December the warmest time of the year! Ian, Ann, and Shelley—A.K.A. the vocal trio Finest Kind—toured in Canada, the US and UK over a period of 25 years, gaining a loyal following for their unique brand of vocal harmony and eclectic repertoire. After retiring from the road, they continued to perform their very popular annual Christmas show at Wakefield’s Black Sheep Inn, along with the “fourth member of the trio” James Stephens, until the pandemic put a stop to live performance. Ian, Ann, Shelley, and James—along with JIIG members Ian Clark and Greg Brown—resurrected that seasonal magic last year at Red Bird, and are glad to continue the tradition this year with three shows at Red Bird.
