VBGIGs (Virginia Beach Globally Inspired Gatherings) returns at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 7, in the Zeiders American Dream Theater, 4509 Commerce St., with "Scotland and Celtic Isles featuring the Seán Heely Celtic Band." Free & open to the public, please register online in advance to reserve your spot. Those without advance tickets will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on available seating.
At VBGIGs, the Seán Heely Celtic Band will whisk you away to the misty, romantic Celtic Isles! With the sounds and traditions of Scotland as a base, Heely and his band take you through all the Celtic kingdoms of old, exploring the roots of Gaelic culture through music. Seán Heely is a world-touring, award-winning fiddler, singer, harpist, and composer on a mission to create versatile artistic performances that bridge Celtic traditions. Together with his band, they craft an unforgettable night of Celtic culture during this first week of August known for folk celebrations of Lughnasadh.
