SUNDAY, JUNE 26TH - Annex Family Festival - 12:40 PM

Heat Of The Summer Edition Of The Folk Revival

We’re pleased to announce that by popular demand, we’ll be continuing our monthly shows at the Free Times Cafe right through the Summer this year. So, mark July 20 and August 17 in your calendars and come down and sing along to ‘Where Have All the Folk Songs Gone’ Heat Of The Summer edition. Please do make a reservation in advance to ensure you get a seat. 

We got an early start to the Summer season with a rousing show on June 15 at the Free Times. Another full house was in fine vocal form and kept us on our toes. The singing of ‘You Were On My Mind’ resulted in a blending of both Ian & Sylvia’s version (us) and the We Five’s version (a lovely group of gals) almost seamlessly. Folk revival era tunes were usually covered by several different groups, branding them with their own signature sound.  

‘Cruel War’, ‘Early Morning Rain’ and ‘When I’m Gone’ were back in the set and it was nice to play these gems again.  Thanks so much to everyone who joined us for another great night of music!

Folk Revival Rising!

Hot on the heels of our Hamilton show in May, 'Where Have All the Folk Song Gone' recently spread the gospel of the folk revival to even more new audiences...

First stop was Ryerson University’s 50 Plus Festival. The festival celebrates creativity and ideas and features an array of lectures by renowned speakers that reflect the content offered by Ryerson’s Programs for folks over 50 years of age. Our sold out Friday show at the Imperial Pub was an enthusiastic and voiceful finale to the day.

A few days later, we moved on down the line to Niagara On The Lake to perform at the Music Niagara  ‘Big Night’, an annual fundraiser in support of their extensive summer music program. Under a big white tent on a beautiful almost Summer’s evening, the audience quickly joined in the singing and some danced, which is becoming more frequent at our shows. Here's a photo from the evening. Michelle was just outside of the frame but we are all enjoying singing for the enthusiastic audience!
