♪ ♫•*¨*•.¸♪ Wow, last evening was a wonderful cap off to the first year of our 'Where Have All The Folk Songs Gone' series at the Free Times Cafe. We launched it last January and have had the opportunity to play to great audiences each month since. Our goal is to stay true to the original arrangements and present as "authentic" a production of the music as possible. It's hard to express what it's like to hear an entire audience singing along to the great songs of the 60's folk revival, but I think "joyful" sums it up nicely! We are looking forward to continuing this series in 2014. The next show is Wednesday, January 15th. And we will be trying out a new start time...
•*¨*• ♫ ♪...I'd forgotten, until today, that we'd tucked our FLIP camera
in a corner at our June 'Where Have All The Folk Songs Gone' show at
The Free Times Cafe. I've edited it down to a few minutes...truth be
told, more like 5 minutes. It was such a fun evening. As you'll hear if
you watch the video...everyone in the room was singing!! Sometimes it's
hard to tell which voices are ours and which are coming from the
audience! And, we get to do it all again on Wednesday, August 21st!
Here's a sampling of what you can expect to hear...

The legendary ‘Folk Revival’ of the Sixties happened 50 years ago but the songs of hope and social justice that defined it, still resonate today. Toronto folk roots duo ‘Sue and Dwight’ have created a series called ‘Where Have All The Folk Songs Gone’, a sing-a-long tribute to the songs of the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. It’s a sing-a-long tribute because the songs are so familiar the audience couldn’t be stopped from singing along even if they tried!
The show includes folk classics like 'If I Had A Hammer', 'A World Of Our Own', 'Blowin In The Wind', 'Walk Right In', ‘Union Maid', 'Early Morning Rain', 'Tom Dooley', 'Five Hundred Miles' and many more.
‘Where Have All The Folk Songs Gone’ has been enthusiastically received at The Winterfolk Festival (2012 and 2013) and at The Free Times Cafe. The next show is on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013 at The Free Times Cafe where ‘Sue and Dwight’ will be joined by singer songwriter Michelle Rumball, and double bass player Tony Laviola.
