What A Great Way To Welcome Spring!

We had such a fun time, as always at our 'Where Have All The Folk Songs Gone?' show at the Free Times Café last week.

The audience was a great mix of regulars and newbies. We are always intrigued at the many different ways people find out about the show. Sometimes it's by word of mouth, social media posts, street posters, online and magazine listings, and sometimes it's just about being in the right place at the right time...One gentleman was passing by the club on Wednesday when he saw the words "60's Folk Revival" on the sandwich board by the front door and decided to come in and see what it was all about. I noticed he was on his phone, alternatively filming and typing from almost the moment he got there. While chatting with him at the break, I learned that he was texting back and forth to his Dad, who he said loves this music, and he was sharing video clips of his fave songs with him. He said he can't wait to bring him out to see the show live!

In honour of International Women's Day, which takes place in March, we stacked the deck with song versions written by and/or done by women during the 60's Folk Revival. Here's the setlist for the evening.

Our next big folk show is the 60's Folk Revival Hootenanny coming up on Saturday, April 6th at the Eton House on Danforth Ave. Advance tickets are selling quickly. Here's a direct link to purchase yours: HOOTENANNY TICKETS

Coming up on Wed. March 20th!

The Greatest Hits Of Peter, Paul and Mary At The 120 Diner

One day after yet another storm that shut down much of Toronto, the skies cleared and people made their way downtown to the 120 Diner to enjoy the music of the iconic folk music trio Peter, Paul and Mary.
It was the first PPM show of 2019 and only our third presentation of it. As one longtime fan of the group, there that evening said, "I am so excited to hear a whole evening of their music!"

And what a lovely setting to hear it in. The 120 Diner has a beautiful stage that provides a wonderful backdrop and we were thrilled to be introduced on stage by award-winning jazz singer and recording artist Ori Dagan.

We had such fun with songs we don't get to perform often, like 'I Dig Rock and Roll Music', 'If I Had My Way', and 'Day Is Done?'.  And it was nice to see the audience joining in. Can't wait to do it again!

Our next PPM show will be as part of the line up for a big Hootenanny in April. Advance tickets are already selling...order yours today so you don't miss out on the fun! Hootenanny - Advance Tickets
