Session – TOqueTrad

Session reminder: August 20, 2017

Posted onAugust 17, 2017

A quick reminder about the session this weekend, from noon to 2:45 pm at the Tranzac Club. This week’s session might be sparsely attended, as Rob and Donna are off to the Festival violon traditionnel Sutton, Pascal’s festival in the Eastern Townships. (You can follow this festival vicariously, through their facebook page.) It’s also an AlgomaTrad week, for those lucky enough to get up there… So, we hope you can soldier on without us this week, and we’ll be looking forward to joining you in September, on the 17th. Rob and Donna

If you have ever been lucky enough to attend an AlgomaTrad event (family camp, dance, travelling concert, music or dance workshop, or concert by the O’Shraves or the Brian Pickell Band), please take a moment to answer a very short, multiple choice online survey. They will use the responses they get when applying for funding to offer more of their engaging and culturally important events and activities. Next weekend (June 23-24) in Hamilton, the annual FrancoFEST “gets Hamilton rocking… in French!”. We are eager to listen Read More …
