Irish Millie delights concert goers at Wesley United Church |
A wonderful afternoon of music was provided by the 16th Line Strummers, the ukulele group of Wesley United Church, and emerging local talent Irish Millie.
While the Strummers opened the afternoon on Dec. 7 at Wesley United Church, Irish Millie stole the show with her music, sincerity and candour. Her father Murray on his guitar provided great support.
Irish Millie was six when she first picked up a fiddle. Her first teacher was Sally Pirie, who died in December 2024 and was well known in Peterborough for teaching fiddle and piano and starting the group Fid-l-styx. Millie has a written a song, “Allison,” to thank Sally. It is on her latest EP “Between Then and Now.”
Alanna Jenish followed as Irish Millie’s next teacher. Irish Millie believes she has been fortunate to learn from various mentors along the way, including Tim Chaisson and other musicians she has met........
