The Rogue Folk Club's upcoming concert schedule landed in my inbox this morning.
The concerts are generally held in a lovely, intimate little hall with great acoustics, a small deconsecrated church, St. James, now the Mel Lehan Hall at St. James. It is located in the Kitsalano neighbourhood on the west side of Vancouver, BC.
The events have a homey grassroots feel to them, as it is all volunteer run by music lovers. The audiences also tend to contain singers and musicians--I remember one event when a singer on stage invited anyone who could sing harmony to do so--a number of people with gorgeous voices stood up and in a nanosecond had perfect 3 part harmony worked out.. The acts often mingle with the audience at break and after the shows.
For many of the concerts, there is a streaming, Watch at Home, option. Tickets are generally $15 CDN, about $11.13 US, 8.82 GBP, or 10.34 EUR
The quality of the filming and sound in the past has been good enough that some arists, such as Martyn Joseph, have taken the video stream recordings and burned them to DVDs for merch table sales at other venues.
A few of the guitar-related highlights for me are:
Harry Manx
Martyn Joseph
Teddy Thompson
Steve Dawson (no live stream)
