Old and New at WTF!

Hi gang, We're nearing the end of April and that can mean only one thing... there's another scintillating WTF! evening ahead. Make sure you leave Friday, April 27th free for joining in the fun. Bring something OLD or something NEW because that's the theme this time. Perhaps you have an old favourite; maybe a favourite that's really old like a Child Ballad; or maybe you've written a great new song and want to share it with our legendary appreciative listening audience. Either way... we're here for you. Truth be told... we wouldn't be here without you :-) The music starts around 6:30pm and goes until a wee bit past 9:00pm. Mike suggests that if you are planning to partake of his culinary delights, you should consider coming early before the tables disappear to make room for us all. Then again... there's something charming about a room full of formerly sedate adults giggling hysterically while trying to delicately eat from bowls and plates precariously balanced on their laps. Do I hear "food fight" next :-) Xo Margo WTF! is a musical outreach program of the Helen Creighton Folklore Society. We meet every second and fourth Friday of the month at CHEBUCTO COFFEE, 6430 Chebucto Road, corner of Chebucto & Kline in Halifax. As always... admission is by free-will donations towards the Society's work.

Thursday, April 12, the Storytellers Circle meets at Just Us! Cafe on Spring Garden, 7:00-8:30 pm. We're moving back upstairs to a smaller, quieter room, where all feel free to participate. We're thinking on the idea of "Did It! Stories of Success". Do come back if you haven't been able to make it for a while, to tell or to listen.

Friday, April 20 - Performance night at Chebucto Coffee, 6430 Chebucto Rd. (at Kline, and North). Come to hear our featured tellers, with some open mike time after break. 7:00-9:00; good food too!

They are ecstatic to have us and gracious in their willingness to help
iron out any kinks that may arise. Truly... they have gone out of
their way to extend the most welcome of welcome mats.

And did I mention food? Real aromatic food? Tasty food like chili,
soups, biscuits, panini, baked goods, etc....AND a delicious selection
of coffee and teas!.

This Friday, February 10th we will embrace 2012 in this comfortable
new space and hope see both old and new friends. The MUSIC WILL START
AT 6:30 and run until nearly 9:00. Come early and have supper why
don't you?

Due to the late notice, it will be a potpourri evening. Bring anything
you may have prepared for the postponed theme nights or something
completely different. Maybe you just want to watch. Whatever the
case... please bring yourselves... we have greatly missed you.

The Anniversary Party is still a go. Details TBD.
