TGIF, Victoria!
Whether you have the night all to yourself or have a few friends and family around, it’s time to spend it how ever you want.
From Victoria comedy shows to an evening of live music here are five ways you can enjoy your Friday, April 14th:
The Irish Rovers
Canada has been home to The Irish Rovers since the early 60s and their first international hit, The Unicorn. They went on to twenty years of international television shows and many more hits. Millar says, “It’s been a bit odd, being from both Ireland and Canada.
At times I’ve felt like a man with no country.” This lead to the song, Band Without A Country from their 2020 album Saints And Sinners which tells the history of this ‘band from god knows where!’
The Irish Rovers return to Victoria in 2023 for the ultimate night of Irish Music. Get ready for a rollicking night of hits, and hilarious stories from their life on the road!
