Performers

In a country that loves its Celtic music, it’s no surprise that Vancouver’s Pat Chessell has
become known as one of the most exciting folk artists in Western Canada. Pat’s rootsy vocal
style, charismatic stage presence and expert musicianship (guitar) are making for an
ever-growing audience of enthusiastic fans. 

While his mostly original music falls solidly under the broad umbrella of ‘Celtic’, Pat’s
range is prodigious and eclectic. It’s been variously described as “upbeat Celtic influenced
Canadian folk/pop”, and “moving mid-and-up-tempo contemporary Celtic”, among other labels. His tunes have also, on occasion, known to be tinged with Americana influences.

Affiliated with Keri's Highland Dance Studio in White Rock, B.C, The Wee Drams is a traditional Highland dance company with a modern swish of the kilt. Previously known as Two Wee Drams, the performance group has since expanded and is comprised of B.C Provincial Representatives, dancers who performed with The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Highland Dance Team, and championship level technique. Performing in White Rock, Vancouver, and everywhere in between, The Wee Drams aim to promote Scottish and Celtic culture through Highland dance.
