Swiss band “Eluveitie” playing in Vancouver

The Swiss folk metal band Eluveitie will be playing a show on September 22, 2015, at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver! Eluveitie uses traditional folk instruments in their music, such as fiddles, tin whistles, flutes, bagpipes and hurdy-gurdies. The traditional folk tunes in their songs have been drawn from various sources, including traditional Irish reels. While many of their lyrics are in English, some are in the ancient extinct Gaulish language.
