Hey there, time traveller!

Loreena McKennitt, the award-winning Celtic-music singer-songwriter who grew up in Morden, returns to the province Nov. 9 to perform at Winnipeg’s Centennial Concert Hall.
Tickets go on sale April 6 at 10 a.m. at centennialconcerthall.com. Prices were not announced.
The concert will be part of McKennitt’s The Visit Revisited tour, which will stop in 23 cities in the United States and Canada in the fall.
Loreena McKennitt
McKennitt released The Visit, her fourth album, in 1991, and it proved to be her career breakout record. It has since gone four times platinum in Canada and earned McKennitt a Juno Award, and she will perform all nine songs from the record at the show, in addition to tunes from her other albums.
The album is a blend of Celtic mythology and Japanese culture and includes her musical takes of The Lady of Shalott, the poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and Cymbeline by William Shakespeare.
Two musicians who were part of The Visit’s recording sessions, multi-instrumentalist Brian Hughes and fiddler Hugh Marsh, will be part of McKennitt’s band at the concert, and they’ll be joined by cellist Caroline Lavelle and bassist Dudley Phillips, who performed on two other McKennitt albums, Lost Souls and Live at the Royal Albert Hall.
In March, McKennitt was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, adding to a long list of honours that include appointments to the Order of Canada, the Order of Manitoba and France’s Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
