exclusively  - English music, with a focus on tune playing.  This is 
group playing, not a singaround format. Hosted by Tethera on the

Each evening consists of two sets by the featured performers; each set begins with time set aside for anyone from the floor who wishes to perform up to two songs or tunes. 

• March 26, 2010: Swamp Ward Orchestra $15: Alison Gowan, Jan Le Clair, and Laura Murray transport audiences into long-ago faraway worlds with dance tunes from France and Eastern Europe played on an unusual collection of instruments: accordion, hurdy-gurdy, cello, whistles, banjo, and double bass. Their signature high octane sound is a mixture of drones, flashy accordion riffs and driving bass, but they often switch to the sweeter sounds of Parisian waltzes and Klezmer laments, and their repertoire also features quirky and macabre traditional and cabaret songs from Québec and France.

• April 9, 2010: Jean Mills & Angie Stock, Robin Aggus & Robin Harrison  Jean and Angie perform an eclectic repertoire that includes the tunes and folksongs of Appalachia, the British Isles, and Canada. Robin & Robin have combined their musical backgrounds from both sides of the Scottish/English border. Poster.
• April 23, 2010: St. George's Day Weekend with Tethera, County Vaudeville, and Geoff Lewis. Poster.
• May 14, 2010: Debra Cowan One of America's foremost interpreters of contemporary and traditional folksongs. She has 2 acclaimed solo recordings and her 3rd recording 'Fond Desire Farewell' was produced by former Fairport Convention drummer Dave Mattaacks. Poster.
• May 28, 2010: My Sweet Patootie $15 Armed with a fiddle, finger-style guitar, and 2 voices, they is an old-fashioned shotgun wedding of cool uptown swing and rural Ontario grit. Poster.
• June 12 (Saturday), 2010: Richard Grainger $15 Guitarist, singer, songwriter, & entertainer. He is an innovator who likes to perform to a wide audience and is one of the most prolific and diverse artists on the folk scene today. He resides in a small village in North Yorkshire. Poster
