Terrace Review —- Wednesday, November 27, 1991 19

may hold

Few people here had heard of
Loreena McKennitt when she
first appeared in Tefrace two
years ago and inspired a mass
thapsody with her voice and
harp. Since then her first two
recordings have sold a total of
45,000 copies and her new one,
The Visit, has already sold
50,000 shortly after its release.

It seems to have been a matter
of the world catching up with
her, but with The Visit she cer-
tainly hasn’t stopped moving.
The first track, All Souls Night,
opens with a tambura, then

‘settles into a rhythm half famil-

iar Celtic and half raga, overlaid
throughout with the hair-raising
purity of her voice.

McKennitt says the title of the
album came about from a con-
version with a friend, who
described the sudden fits of

creativity and inspiration people

are subject to as "visits", from
what or whom is obviously left
to the imagination. This visit

mi McKennitt concert

surprises
seems to have inspired her to
visualize Celtic music casting a
giant shadow, drawing from
ancient sources across the north-
ern hemisphere but always rec-
ognizable at its core. The sounds
of India and the Middie East
permeate several of the songs on
The Visit, an eerie and startling
combination held together by
McKennitt’s own sure instincts
for the rightness of it all. Like
the appearance of the Parsee on
the deck of the Pequod in Moby
Dick, the effect is shocking yet
true to the concept, but instead
of Ahab’s madness we have
musical intuition of the first
order as a driving force.

The performance begins 8 p.m.

Saturday night at the R.E.M. Lee
Theatre. McKennitt will be
accompanied by guitarist Brian
Hughes, Anne Bourne on cello
and keyboards, percussionist
Rick Lazar, and Tom Hazlitt on
double bass.

Another chance to
see TLI’s Hooters

Terrace Little Theatre

The Terrace Little Theatre is
holding its present production,
Hooters, due to popular demand.
The decision was made last week
by producer Ray*Mordan and
director Gordon Oates, when all
tickets for the scheduled perform-
ances were sold out before Thurs-
day’s show.

The lighthearted comedy has
proven a big success with a fairly
young audience. “Patrons are
showing up for seconds grinning
from ear to ear,” notes Mordan.

To help the TLT set goals for
future productions, all audience
members are asked to fill out a
questionnaire. “Terrace is hungry

for theatre, and we'll try to pro-
vide it,” said president Alan Wes-
ton after Saturday’s show.

Director Ken Morton is already
rehearsing the next TLT produc-
tion, Living Together, by British
playwright Alan Ayckbourn. The
club hopes to have other entries
for the Skeena Zone Drama Festi-
val in Smithers in March, and pre-
liminary plans are in motion for a
large-scale musical production in
fall 1992.

Hooters runs this Friday and
Saturday, Nov. 29 and 30, at the
McColl Playhouse, Showtime is at
8 p.m, Tickets are available from
the Bank of Montreal and Jeans
North in the Skeena Mall.
