New Activities in the Crow's Nest

The Crow's Nest, that well hidden bar between Duckworth and Water Streets just east of the War Memorial, opens its doors more often to the general public. It turns out to be a very suitable place for sessions. Rob Brown writes that "sessions always start at 7:30 pm on the first Monday of each month and go 'till they kick us out...maybe 11:30ish. Note that kids and less experienced players are always welcome and that the sessions are always free and there's a bit of grub served as well!"

Dale Jarvis and Delf Maria Hohmann have teamed up to perform Stories and Songs from the Brothers Grimm Collection at the Crow's Nest on Sundays at 8 pm.

Fiddle Your Summer Away!

Christina brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to this course, designed to familiarize students with the rich legacy of traditional Newfoundland fiddling and to connect them directly with the instruments as they master a few jigs and reels.
