Còig

Còig is a Canadian Celtic supergroup known for their energetic and enchanting interpretations of traditional folk tunes and original compositions. The ensemble hails from Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, a region celebrated for its rich history of music and Gaelic culture. Formed as a promotional ensemble for the Celtic Colours International Festival, the band comprises an array of accomplished musicians: fiddlers Chrissy Crowley and Rachel Davis, pianist Jason Roach, and multi-instrumentalist Darren McMullen, who seamlessly weaves guitar, mandolin, banjo, bouzouki, whistles, flute, and more into the fabric of Còig's sound.

Còig's discography showcases a masterful blending of their diverse talents, with albums that capture the heart of Cape Breton’s musical heritage while infusing it with a fresh and contemporary vigor. "Carols Too" (2020) is a beautiful follow up to their earlier festive album "Carols" (2015), both albums offer listeners a mix of seasonal cheer with richly arranged carols and holiday tunes. "Ashlar" (2019) represents the band's solid foundation in traditional music and their collaborative strength — the word 'ashlar' referring to a fine-dressed stone, each unique to fit together perfectly in construction. With "Rove" (2017) and "Five" (2014), they further solidified their standing in the folk music scene, with "Rove" earning them the 2019 East Coast Music Award for Roots Traditional Album of the Year. Còig’s dynamic mix of tunes, paired with their energetic and engaging live performances, have made them one of the most captivating acts in the Celtic music world.
