Various performers from different backgrounds will be put together on stage under a specific theme. These may involve a number of fiddlers from different groups, or a selection of singers could be asked to share songs about specific themes. These create an experience of informal and spontaneous music making by festival artists. SINGAROUNDS & PUB SESSIONS: These will be held at the Royal Oak Pub Garden (new venue behind Old City Hall. The Mill Race Folk society hosts these events regularly at other venues throughout the year as well. Check our website for details OPEN STAGE This will follow after the Children’s performances on the Water Street South Stage and is in the same venue. Singers and musicians who would like to have a chance to perform should speak with the volunteers at that Stage and sign up. Hosted this year by Cambridge Live Music Singarounds or Song Sessions, are informal gatherings where musicians/singers gather in a circle, unplugged, sharing songs together in an informal social setting. A pub session is similar, but mainly instrumental music is played; jigs, hornpipes, etc. These are a mainstay at British and Irish folk festivals. Hosts are appointed to run these events, but anyone who plays the appropriate style of music can join in. The intent is to provide a place for traditional folk song and music enthusiasts who are not necessarily hired performers to participate in making music at the festival. Please see the Schedule and Venues Map in the centre of the programme for details, times and locations. For folk music activities throughout the year, please see: www.millracefolksociety.com and www.grandriverfolk.org 6 CONCERT, WORKSHOP AND SESSION PERFORMERS The Bilge Rats The Bilge Rats are a group of singers who specialize in singing shanties, the sailors’ a capella work songs from the great days of the tall sailing ships. The Bilge Rats’ repertoire also includes songs from a variety of other traditions, from doo-wop to ballads, reflecting the well establishedtradition of sailors constantly picking up new ‘shore’ songs to delight and distract their shipmates in their leisure hours. The Bilge Rats are proud to have performed at concerts, festivals, tall ship occasions, and folk music events in Ontario, the UK, Cuba, and most recently the Siglufjörður Folk Music Festival in Iceland. There is a rumour that the Bilge Rats are an offshoot of the Toronto Morris Men, who dance ancient and excellent traditional English Morris dances in Toronto and other parts near and far. Come out to join in and enjoy The Bilge Rats and their “Wall of Sound”. www.tfmm.ca Bourrée à Trois Follow the sound of hurdy gurdies and bagpipes right into the heart of France. Sandra, Andrea and Robin will share with you their passion for the traditional instruments and compelling tunes of a real “bal folk” (a traditional village soirée). They will lead you in bourrées, scottishes, mazurkas and more, and may even take you on the occasional side trip to the British Isles.

High spirits and high energy - “a rude vigor” - typify Border Morris. This group also typifies the essence of Morris dancing: “A chance to perform in the street, to show off, to be loud or silly or raucous, to violate normal standards of behavior and not only get away with it, but be applauded for it.” www.orange-peel-morris.com Forest City Morris Forest City Morris & Sword from London Ontario danced out for the first time in 1978, drawing i nspiration from the dances of the village of Kirtlington in Oxfordshire, U.K. Thirty-two years later, this women’s side of Cotswold Morris dancers maintains the ancient tradition while having fun! Over the years, the side has performed at numerous festivals and dance events throughout Canada, the U.S., and even Bermuda and England.
