  • Skye Consort
    Introducing Skye Consort ith an instrumental lineup that features nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle), cello, and cittern/bouzouki; a lead singer from Sweden with a golden voice; and a repertoire rooted in traditions that span the Atlantic, Skye Consort and Emma Björling is a one-of-a-kind quartet. W“Skye Consort has been doing baroque and folk music fusion since 1999, based in Montreal,” says co-founder Seán Dagher. “We’ve released a series of albums with different singers—classical and folk—and played Welsh, Scottish, Irish, French music—always taking folk songs and giving them interesting new arrangements. “This collaboration with Emma Björling started about two years ago. Alex Kehler, our fiddle and nyckelharpa player, knew her from the folk music world and brought her onboard for a project we were doing with La Nef, a much larger ensemble. Emma’s flight home was cancelled because of an ice storm in Iceland, so she spent three days with me and Amanda [Keesmaat], our cellist, sleeping on the couch. During those three days we got the idea for a Skye Consort project with her. We’d really enjoyed working together on the La Nef thing, and she wanted to do something in particu- lar with cello and the soundscape it brought.” Last year’s eponymous Skye Consort & Emma Björling is the fruit, a wonderfully varied collection of tracks, six of them Scandinavian songs and tunes. The lilting opener, Herr Hillebrand, sets the tone with its spirited yet intricate accompaniment of Björling’s emotionally nuanced voice. Most of the music on the album is traditional, though Dagher wrote the two Celtic tunes, The Skunk/Thick As Thieves, and Cast Iron Stove is a contemporary song from the pen of late Australian songwriter Harry Robertson.

  • Folk Night at the Registry: Season 9, 2014-2015
    Folk Night at the Registry: Season 9, 2014-2015 Season 9 of FNatR is presented by The Registry Theatre and The Old Chestnuts Song Circle . We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of our supporters and subscribers, without whom our presentation of lesser-known artists would simply not be possible. This year features an unprecedented number of American performers, thanks to the enthusiasm for Folk Night that has resulted from our past Brother Sun and Joe Crookston shows. We will welcome singer- songwriters and traditional musicians, bringing audiences the broad and evocative music that makes up “folk”. All shows are at 8pm and take place at The Registry Theatre , 122 Frederick St, Kitchener. Prices shown are Advance / At the door. Advance tickets are available through the Centre In The Square. Part of The Registry Roots Weekend (below). Concert 1: JOHN GORKA . Saturday, October 4, 2014. $20 / $25 “With a tangle of songs that emotionally connect us all and leave a tender trace, John Gorka stimulates the cerebrum, keeps our smiles agile and fit and reconnects us with what really matters most in music: honesty.” ~ Brian Dambrosio, The Huffington Post From New Jersey, John Gorka is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who got his start in the late 1970’s at a neighborhood coffeehouse. He soon found himself living in the club’s basement and acting as MC and sound man, encountering legendary folk troubadours like Stan Rogers , Eric Andersen , and Tom Paxton . Their brand of folk-inspired acoustic music inspired him, and before long he was performing his own songs. Folk meccas like the Kerrville Folk Festival (where he won the New Folk Award in 1984) followed, and his stunningly soulful baritone voice and original songwriting began turning heads.
