FOLA honors Mark Huntley with musical event  

LUDLOW, Vt. — FOLA will be offering a live musical special event featuring two musical groups on Saturday, Feb. 22 in the Heald Auditorium at Ludlow’s Town Hall at 7 p.m. highlighting the Gypsy Reel and Rick Redington and the LUV. 

The event will also be in tribute to the life and legacy of Mark Huntley who brought so much music and joy to us. Among the many features of Huntley’s life were his contributions to local groups and service to the community, including as a director of FOLA. Not the least of these was his joy in bringing music to everyone, whether it be in his band or that of other area musicians. 

Rick Redington & Tuff Luv will combine forces with Gypsy Reel for a “Night Of Rockin’ World Music,” guaranteed to get “You Up Out Of Your Seat & On Your Feet”. 

Rick and his band have just released a new album called “Supermoon” featuring high energy tracks oozing with “bass, drums and percussive rhythmic goodness lead by sweet licks, blazing riffs with freight train vocals.”  

This great event is free, but donations are greatly appreciated to underwrite the costs of the event. And, for those so inclined, make sure you’re wearing your “dancing shoes.”  

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. For more info, call 802-228-3238.
