irish rovers played markham theatre tuesday to the delight of fans wanting irish songs several were included in their program by frank king oh be still me quakin heart tis the irish rovers that were after playin in maaarkham this week and they were doin the ould songs fer a change te boot yes folks the markham theatre for the per forming arts hosted its bestknown act on tues day night and 550 people packed the building to watch the rovers spin their magic and for a pleasant change it was actually an irish magic they had those who have seen will george joe millar jimmy ferguson and wil- cil mcdowell in recent years know the irish songs have been noticeable only by their absence from the show in fact the boys only sang a halfdozen or so at their 1986 roy thomson hall concert a bitter disappointment to fans vho enjoy songs from paddys green shamrock shore but thankfully this wasnt the case tuesday night backed by stouffvilles bernie labarge on electricacoustic guitars plus occasional bass guitar and irishborn kevin mckcown on drums the rovers spent most of their two hours on stage living up to their roots songs like what wid ye do from their 1972 live recording black velvet band from 1971 s the unicorn lp mick maguire from 1970s debut record the first of the irish rovers and yel low gals from 1973s imigrate imigrate con cept album were all done the rovers went so irish that they even allowed the quiet man accordion player mcdowell to grab some of the spotlight with a delightful selection of reels will millar had an explanation for this return to the groups traditional sound he noted after the show that audiences have favored an irish format over the bland poplike feel the rovers have recently had in fact he said the group is going to extend the traditional sound to the recording studio there will be a new album out and it will be back to the grass roots millar reported still not everything about the rovers show was strictly irish the band also presented vig nettes on scottish history and world war one plus the usual antics of jimmy ferguson the traditionallyportly lead singer praved hes still the jonathan winter of the music world going so far as to spray bandmates and some of the audience with water however some of this was wasted on the audi ence which was basically well dressed and very reserved will miller didnt seem to mind pointing out theyre older people and not as given to letting their emotions out the band seemed to enjoy the cosy yet elegant feel of the markham theatre will told the audi ence it was like a huge pub and noted afterwards the group should do two shows here but that doesnt mean the boys want to in crease their touring its still quite a bit of fun said mcdowell the only rover still living in ireland he moved back five years ago but were not travelling as much we used to be on the road 10 months of the year now we tour for four months i used to have friends living in markham when it was a farming village will millar recal led the change is unbelievable you used to think of markham as being way out in the coun try im sort of lamenting it the explosive growth
