Well, it seems Fall is slipping by us, and we’re entering into the season of holidays, sweet treats, frenzy and Christmas! We hope you might have time to join us this Saturday, when we will be playing at the Grand Opening of the Blackfriar’s Bridge.  For 143 years, this bridge has connected the lovely Blackfriars neighbourhood to downtown London – we are honoured to get to play music to celebrate the bridge reopening after being rebuilt!

There will be a gathering on the Blackfriars side of the bridge then a walk across the bridge to the downtown (east) side, where we’ll be set up and playing some fine tunes and songs. We will be playing around 12noon, and folks will start gathering about 10:30am. You can find more details here and here.

AND, we’re very excited to tell you that we’re returning to The Harvest Table in Melbourne, Ontario for a repeat engagement. on Friday, January 11th. You can’t find a better place for some delicious home-cooked food, or a more beautiful spot – we hope you’ll join us. Stay tuned for details about how to pre-order tickets. In the meantime you can read about the venue here .
