Hot Time At The Free Times

Lovely bunch of sing-alongers at the Free Times Cafe for our July Folk Revival on a hot and steamy Toronto evening.

We concur wholeheartedly with the fellow who enthusiastically said, at the end of the evening, "I enjoyed every second of the show!"

And thanks so much to Eric for snapping these photos for us...

Taking The Show On The Road!

The 'Where Have All The Folk Songs Gone?' gang piled into a van and hit the road twice in July.

First, on July 6th, to the Artword Artbar in Hamilton and then on July 16th, to the Simcoe Park band shell as part of the Music Niagara Summer Festival in Niagara On The Lake. We had a great time at both shows.

The Artword Artbar was wonderful as always. Judith and Ron have created a warm and welcoming performance space for both artists and audiences. There were lots of folks who'd been at our previous Artbar shows but also lots of new faces as well. We've already booked another show there in the Fall.

On the morning of our Music Niagara Summer Festival performance, the weather forecast was pretty dismal. Just before leaving Toronto, I did one last check online and saw there was a 70% chance of precipitation and thunderstorms at the exact same time as our show (12-2pm). Noooooooo. Fast forward to noon...the sky clouded over as we took the stage, then suddenly the sun came out and it was back and forth like that throughout the performance. A few drops of rain fell here and there but not enough to discourage the audience, so that was great. One of the festival sponsors of the was handing out fun clapper thingys, so the audience of hundreds sounded like an audience of thousands!

 Next show is our regular monthly at the Free Times Cafe on Wed. July 19th. As always, reservations are a great idea to ensure a seat!

Artbar and Niagara Bound!

The 'Where Have All The Folk Songs Gone?' gang is hitting the road for a couple of shows this month. First up, on Thursday July 6th, is a return visit to the Artword Artbar in Hamilton. It is such a great venue to see this show. There's not a bad seat in the house. Advance Tickets will ensure your spot.
