The Mudmen have been entertaining audiences around the world with their brand of Celtic rock for 25 years. As part of their silver anniversary tour, they are making a stop in Wingham at the Town Hall Centre with a concert benefiting United Way Perth-Huron’s Northern Huron Connection Centre.
“We are excited to welcome the Mudmen to Wingham,” said Lisa Harper, United Way’s manager of community development in northern Huron. “We appreciate their support of our work. I know the show will be amazing and we invite everyone to wear plaid and come together in support the Northern Huron Connection Centre.”
“We are from a small town, and we love the small town, help each other community mindset,” said Robbie Campbell of the Mudmen. “United Way is a great organization to support and the community is lucky to have such a great team organizing this event.”
