Hi, Folks.
How’s your winter going? Happily we missed the brutal cold snap in January while on tour in Australia. There’s a reason why Island musicians love Australia. In fact a few good reasons, the first being The Woodford Folk Festival. Paper Lions, Ward MacDonald, Richard Wood and Gordon Belsher, Irish Mythen, and other Islanders have played there.

Hello, Folks.
Happy December. Just three more weeks and the days will be getting longer again! We always celebrate the solstice with a big party, singing Christmas carols at the top of our lungs. Drop in if you live in the neighbourhood.

The workshops are on select Tuesdays through the summer and fall.
