GRILL
Greg Reynolds Instrument Lending Library
Borrow an Instrument. Discover a New Passion.
The Goderich Celtic Roots Festival is proud to partner with the Huron County Library to launch the Greg Reynolds Instrument Lending Library (GRILL) - a new initiative designed to make traditional music more accessible to everyone in our community.
Named in honour of the late Greg Reynolds, a passionate supporter of music and the Celtic community, the GRILL celebrates Greg's belief that music should be shared. (And yes - his family agrees he would have appreciated the acronym!)
Whether you've always wanted to try the fiddle, are curious about the concertina, or simply want to pick up a guitar for the first time, the GRILL offers an opportunity to borrow an instrument free of charge through the Huron County Library and begin your musical journey.

Greg Reynolds
(1954 – 2023)
Greg was a key member of the organization from the beginning, managing the Festival site preparation every year, serving on the Board for many years, and as President of the Board. His leadership of the Goderich Celtic Folk Society was a challenge he met with grace and passion. His wonderful spirit and his energy at the festival was inspiring. He will be forever loved and deeply missed by his community. Slàinte Mhath Grego
