Aug. 08: Redmond O’Colonies

Itinerant snowbird Redmond O’Colonies returns to Victoria with his delightful mix of songs, parodies, and monologues.

A seasoned performer of over 40 years, Redmond’s impressive repertoire was collected over a lifetime of travelling. British born, he escaped the Tweed Curtain to follow the routes of the whalers and tea clippers, performing in clubs, pubs, cruise ships, and casinos from Timbuctu to Titicaca, Walla Walla to Wogga Wogga. Redmond co-founded the Waterfront Folk Club in San Francisco in 1980.

Complementing his deep, rich voice with guitar, ukulele, and concertina, Redmond interprets material from Gershwin to the Goons. His original compositions include clever parodies and satires, not to mention his trademark monologues, varying from hilarious to poignant, which the San Francisco Examiner described as “Spoken Word Theater.”
