Potential Ontario Canada Concertina Sightings

[Bill N]

The Port Dover Harbour Museum is sponsoring a festival of all things lacustrian this weekend, including a fantastic line-up of folk musicians. Ian Bell, the museum's director, is a former director of the Mariposa Folk Festival, and has pulled in all his favours by the looks of the programme. At least 3 of the bands/performers feature concertina, as well as other free-reed instruments (Alistair Brown, Friends of Fiddlers Green, Finest Kind). There will be Naval War of 1812 re-enactors, lots of wooden boats, and Port Dover has great shopping and restuarants too, if you need something to distract your significant other/non-concertina-addicted travelling companions, etc.

 

Port Dover is on the north shore of Lake Erie, about 40 minutes south of Hamilton.

And my shanty group, the Bilge Rats will be there too! we are an anarchic offshoot of the Toronto Morris Men. You may even see the men dancing around Port Dover during the day.
