THE final performance in Arts Alive's Canadian Connection season is the Fitzgerald Family, Ontario-based fiddle and step-dancing champions whose playing, dancing and audience rapport earn their exhilarating performance the title Everything Fitz.
The Fitzgeralds are a family group consisting of fiddling and step dancing sensations Tom, Kerry and Julie Fitzgerald. These siblings, from Canada’s renowned Ottawa Valley, have come a long way from their small town roots. The three-time Canadian Grandmaster Fiddle Champions and Ontario Open Step Dance Champions present high-energy fiddling and mind-blowing step dancing.
Sian Kerry, Arts Alive’s Director, previewed Everything Fitz in Canada and says: "This phenomenal family of fiddlers and step dancers will go down a storm in our halls."
See Everything Fitz at Richards Castle Village Hall (01568 615836) on Thursday, May 18 (a change of venue from that advertised in the Arts Alive brochure) and at SpArC Theatre in Bishop's Castle (01588 630321/638038; sparctheatre.co.uk) on Friday, May 19.
