BEFORE AMERICA’S ANTHEM, BUFFALO HEARD CANADA’S. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Before the Bills and Detroit Lions kicked off on September 17, 2026, the brand-new Highmark Stadium welcomed Toronto’s Barenaked Ladies to perform “O Canada.” 🙏🙏♥️

Due to John’s recent hospitalisation we have reluctantly postponed our anniversary concert scheduled to take place on October 7 at Bittaford Village Hall. He won’t be fit enough to perform by then. We will reschedule for next spring.

Thanks to Natalie and the team at the Ivybridge Memory Café for the invitation. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with a different repertoire than usual, drawing on some 60s classics. Good to get out of the comfort zone! #Silvington #folkduo

Great to hear that Atherstone Folk Club has new blood at the helm. Obviously pleased that our booking next March will be going ahead, but more delighted that the club will continue as a venue for live folk music for the East Midlands.

Sad news that Atherstone Folk Club may close next month unless someone steps up to take over from stalwart Phil Benson, who is stepping down after 13 years of sterling service. One of the East Midlands “Holy Trinity” of clubs, Nuneaton, Bedworth and Atherstone, it will be a sad day indeed. Unless…

Lovely afternoon with the guys at the Memory Café at the Watermark, Ivybridge. Some of the repertoire was material we don’t often perform, but it was well received, and gratifying to see people reacting and joining in.
