Since including Old South Church in their annual “Coig Christmas” tour it is estimated that over the past ten years, Coig has helped the raise over $100,000 ECU Heat Fuel Assistance Fund.  Forty percent of the concert’s ticket sales will benefit the Fuel Assistance Fund. Through the generosity of the wider community every year the matching of $5000-$7500 has been met and then some.  The 2024-2025 heating season utilized almost $62,000 to serve at least 315 families in Franklin County. One hundred percent of the collection that will be taken at the beginning of the second half of the concert will benefit the Fuel Assistance Fund.  Checks payable to FAEM/ECU HEAT are tax deductible and will be acknowledged.  Rev. John Balicki, a representative of the Farmington Area Ecumenical Association will provide a brief introduction at the beginning of the evening about the importance of the Fuel Assistance Fund and how it operates.

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia based band Còig is celebrating eleven years of spreading holiday cheer with the 2025 annual Christmas tour!  Celebrate the season in style with one of Atlantic Canada’s premiere Celtic super-groups as they take concert goers on a musical journey with their renditions of timeless Christmas classics, lively instrumentals, stirring vocals, high-energy original tunes and festive favorites from their Christmas al-bums, “Carols” and “Carols Too”.  An exceptional show from start to finish, Còig brings various influences to their Celtic holiday mix ranging from Folk, Classical, to Swing, giving your favorite carols a fresh and original sound.  Two of the Coig’s founding band members, Rachel Davis, Darren McMullen, will be joined by Cape Breton fiddler Margie Beaton and Montreal based guitarist Thierry Clouette.

Coig's first Christmas project “Carols is exceptional, from start to finish. And, sure, it’s overall a Celtic set, but the band brings a multitude of influences to the music which not only keeps the whole thing sounding fresh and original but should also draw in some folks more partial to Folk, Classical, Contemporary Pop, and there’s even a little bit of Swing.

The musicianship and vocals are perfect; there’s a nice balance of instrumental and vocal pieces and “Carols” is a robust 57.5 minutes long (no skimpy wish sandwich here). Hard to pick favorites, since it’s all so good, but the opener— “Carol Of The Celts”—grabbed me when Còig shifted into high gear about 2 minutes in. And if “Swingle Jingle Bells” doesn’t put a smile on your face, I think there might be something wrong with you.
