I think there is a Blues one which runs at Bearly's on Saturday evening.

Besides the weekly ones mentioned, there is the monthly pub nights of the Harbour Folk Society, Open Mic sessions are held between the featured act's performances.

George,

I have wanted to go to Halifax, Nova Scotia since I read a novel written by Robert McNeil called Burden of Desire. the map and description of the hill and the harbour seem to be so similar to Newcastle, New South Wales, Oz, where I live. I read the book very soon after the Newcastle earthquake in 1989, so the scenes of post disaster recovery was very familiar too.

I'll get there one day, and when I do, I'll go to some of these sessions.

Helen

I'm not a player, actually. I am there to enjoy the singers and the players.

I've spend my last three holidays in Nova Scotia, including Cape Breton and we love Halifax as a town. I'll keep a note of these sessions and drop by with an instrument next time we're over from the Surreal Kingdom of Belgium.

All the best,

mcmoo
