Milton's Wells featured in tribute to vets at Wilbur Theatre

By Johanna Seltz, Town Correspondent

Vocalist Pauline Wells will lead a tribute to America’s veterans at Boston’s Wilbur Theatre on Friday night, with a cast of musicians that includes her husband, Milton Police Chief Richard Wells.

Chief Wells drums for the Boston Police Gaelic Column, a bagpipe and drum band whose members are law enforcement officers from the Greater Boston area.

Other scheduled performers include the Irish music band DEVRI and the New York City Police Department Pipe Band.

Pauline Wells, a Milton resident and lieutenant with the Cambridge Police Department, is a contemporary Irish singer who performs regularly throughout the area and donates all her earnings to charity.

The proceeds from this show will go to two organizations: Cops for Kids with Cancer (www.copsforkidswithcancer.org) and the Ahern Family Charitable Foundation for Massachusetts Military Veterans (www.ahernfoundation.org).
