Get Reel

Doug, Greg and Tony of Get Reel

Our jolly ship’s crew will explore a lively set of songs and fiddle tunes from the East Coast, Irish, Scottish, Folk, and other Celtic traditions. Blending a mix of harmonies into their songs, Get Reel is:

  • Doug Wagner (vocals, bodhran, guitar, and fiddle),
  • Greg Black (vocals, guitar, electric bass, and octave mandolin) and
  • Tony Hogan (vocals and percussion).
  • Cathy Ascroft (vocals and accordion) will join us for this show.

Over many years, Get Reel has performed in numerous venues around Alberta, including the Water Valley Celtic Festival, the Irish Cultural Society, Okotoks, and the High River. We are also the house band for Celtic Folk.

When the fog is just right, you can almost smell the ocean, see the shipwrecks, hear the crashing waves with “a tiny trace of fiddling in the distance far behind him.”

Important Notes

It is a concert format (attentive audience) in an authentic pub-style setting. It is not a pub night. The ICS provides the bar service. Please be responsible and reasonable while enjoying the performance so everyone else can enjoy their evening.

Hickey’s Place is downstairs at the Irish Cultural Society. As of March 2026, there is an elevator for accessible access to Hickey’s. As a private venue, children are permitted. However, they should be old enough to focus on the performance or another non-disruptive activity and must be supervised by a parent at all times.

Doors open at 6:30 pm.

Due to the nature of running concerts, all ticket sales are final.
