Just in case you don't get hold of me tonight or tomorrow.

The Pub Night is at the Alderney Bar and Grill across from the Dartmouth Ferry Terminal. Runs from 8PM until 11-ish. This month will feature Dan MacKinnon.

BTW, I'm not trying to squelch your plans to hold a song circle. It'd be great. I'd like to see that it doesn't happen on the same night as another one though.

Besides the two I mentioned earlier, there is also an event put on by the Songwriters Association of NS at the Split Crow. That's once a month, I think on the third Saturday of the month.

The Sunday night one is called Sounds Like Sunday, and is hosted by Vince Morash, a local singer/songwriter. Vince has been doing this for about 2 or 3 years. It recently re-located to the Dandelion Café on Spring Garden Road, just east of Robie Street. Starts at 6PM and runs until 9PM.
The Monday night one is at O'Carrolls on Lower Water Street, just across from the entrance to Historic Properties. This evening is hosted by Roger Stone, who is a member of Breton and was one of the founding members of Brakin' Tradition.

The Harbour Folk Society, besides the monthly Pub Nights, also have a Wednesday night coffee house. Currently it is located at the Ceilidh Connection on Barrington Street, right across from the Mary Black Gallery. This starts around 7PM and goes until about 10PM.

Seaside Folk and Fundy Folk Societies also have monthly events in the areas, Lunenberg and the Valley respectively.
