Thanks to everyone. We've enjoyed James Gordon, Susan Latimer and The Shards in the last couple of years and Nonesuch and Triangl have been in the mix as well.

Lots of talent here!

Our series in in Orillia (loosely) so many of you will now be able to "out" me.

Keep the ideas coming.

One Band you could check out are the Shards. They are a Celtic/folk band from Owen Sound, Ontario.

A group called Spraio (pronounced "spree") headed up by Pat Simmons, play some fine Celtic Music, including uillean pipes, fiddle, etc. I heard them in Brockville about a year ago They are performing at a house concert, here in Kingston next weekend. Certainly I enjoyed them the last time I heard them and see no reason why I shouldn't enjoy them next weekend. If any different I will post another message.

Where abouts is your series? I am basicaly in the Orangeville area.

While we are on the subject osf shameless self promotion. My group Triangl (an a cappela trio) and another group (Nonesuch) from the Cambridge area, did a concert for the Brampton Folk Club this last December. We all had a good time, as did the 92 people in the audience, so we are planning on doing a few more gigs together next Christmas. Both groups perform from the "FAR" from regular Christmas fare, with a British bias. I know it's early for Christmas but you need to book early to avoid disapointment.
Could be interested in attending your shows if they are reasonably close/ artists of interest. PM me if you wish to.

Well, it is shameless sis Promotion, but Susan Latimer. She has been fairly busy lately, most recently she opened for Ian Tyson at Hugh's Room, but has played the Vital Spark, Eaglewood, Greenbank, Mariposa to name a few.

I can surely recommend and speak highly of Night Sun and James Gordon to mention 2.

Hi folks,
Venturing above the line to ask for suggestions of Canadian performers who might have been flying 'below the radar' and not received the attention they deserve.

I'm in the process of booking a small concert/house concert series just north of Toronto and am looking for some contacts I might have missed.

Thanks to anyone who has any ideas.
