Davey Finding Other Musicians To Play With (66* d) RE: BS: Finding Other Musicians To Play With 07 Dec 99


Great thread, lots of interesting information....

TorontoLT and Banjo Bonnie, you might be interested in the weekly, Friday night Song Circle. It takes place in people's homes, starting at 8:30 - 8:45, general format is:
Once around the room, each person can pick (request a song), play (sing or lead a song)or pass. This usually lasts until 10:30 (we get 20-25 people each week), when there is a break for food and conversation (everyone generally brings a small food or beverage contribution).

After the break the format is much less formal, with no set pattern and usually more instrumental accompaniment. Finishing time is generally 1:00 -1:30 AM.... If you want more specific information or locations, send a note to my ID on the mudcat.

To reply to a few of your comments, Toronto does indeed have a wealth of folk venues and jam sessions. It's possible to get involved with jams, sessions, sing arounds, open stages and concerts nearly every night of the week. We love our communities.

sophocleese, from your post I think you must be CT from the Woods. Am I close?
