You and your friends are invited to attend our next fall house concert. It’ll be held on Sunday September 27 at 2:00 pm at our house in Aylmer. You’ll be treated to a performance by Yann Falquet and Keith Murphy. Both are masters of folk and celtic guitar (and mandolin) styles.
As singers, they delve into the vast repertoire of Québécois and Newfoundland folk songs. Keith was a founding member of the groundbreaking trio, Nightingale and is a highly respected singer of traditional songs. Yann is best known for his work with Genticorum (the trio performed here twice through the years). The duo toured North-Eastern United States, last July.
Have a listen to Yann and Keith on YouTube.

Writers’ Bloc is a monthly gathering for songwriters to share songs they’re working on with a supportive group of other songwriters. This is an inclusive group and is open to songwriters at any level, even those just getting started. We also have a new topic we discuss each week related to songwriting, from the hook, to melody, to the tools of songwriting. Each month we begin with an inspiring discussion. Hope to see you there.
