Heavy Blinkers at HUFF

Last night, the Heavy Blinkers were part of a beautiful show as part of the Halifax Urban Folk Festival. Along with Tyler Hache, the Blinkers opened for the incredible Leif Vollebekk at the Company House. Read a review of the show here. The festival continues until Sunday!

Zuppa Fundraising Concert

Last night was Zuppa Theatre's annual fundraising concert at the Music Room. Every year they bring together a big variety of local performers for a sold-out show centered around a theme. This year's theme was summer or sunshine. Melanie Stone and I played two songs together, Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles, and Boys of Summer by Don Henley!

Pictures from last week

Here are a couple of shots from harp activities last week. First, a photograph by Hamish Gordon, who captured Warda Limaye and I reflected in the grand piano during a Heavy Blinkers/Nova Sinfonia rehearsal:

Second, the pre-party scene at a fun 80th birthday event inside the historic Artillery Park in Halifax, built (I believe) in 1816:
