Valdy’s red high-top sneakers danced all night long – the man just can’t stand still when he’s playing his guitar!

“Sing, Celebrate and dance” was definitely the theme of the night. What an honour to present a Canadian icon!

Norman Liota

Dave Hadfield and his band got the audience into the spirit of sing-along.

Dave and Johanne brought a tear to the eye and a lump to the throat with their pure clear vocals on “Caroline” – the song of a habitant woman left behind when her husband heads off on the river as a voyageur...

… and Jerry had us clapping the beat with his amazing fiddle playing!

James Gordon enthralled us with his stories and songs, accompanied by piano. Guitar, harmonica, banjo and pennywhistle. He really made full use of the hall’s acoustics.

The audience of 50 got up close and personal! It was a fun evening for all in attendance.






Terry Tufts

September 24, 2004

Terry Tufts brought his flying fingers and fabulous guitar work to Milton – shown here framed by the century old windows of Hugh Foster Hall.

The full house of 50 were enthralled– there was a spontaneous standing ovation at the end.

Here's what the audience said:

Thank you so much for organizing such a fabulous event. Starting with Terry will leave quite large shoes to fill. As far as your request to tell others about these events, I don't think I can do that as having had such a great time on Friday and seeing that it was sold out I don't want to take a chance at not getting tickets for the rest of the shows. I'll tell people anyway, because it was just so good.

We enjoyed it immensely. Terry's music and personal conversation with everyone throughout the evening was magical.
