The Saturday Chili and Fish Chowder Supper and Concert

Saturday June 6 was the Chili And Fish Chowder Community Supper and Concert in the Harbour. Various folks contributed chili (meat and meatless), fish chowder, salads, cake, pie, and apple crumble. There was also apple cider and coffee and tea to drink. Personally, I stuffed myself. I had to try everything!


The community hall is small and packed, I'm sure there were at least 50 people in a couple of shifts having dinner there. MLA Mark Parent dropped by for a quick bite and a bit of conversation with residents and visitors.


As folks finished there meals they moved out onto the deck to enjoy the warm spring evening. Mike was responsible for organizing the music for the concert, which commenced after dinner in the church across the road.


The church is quite lovely inside, very simple but great acoustics. A few of the pews had cushions, there was a bit of a rush to get a seat with a cushion.


I think there were eight musicians altogether, they were roughly organized into several bands, with lots of overlap in membership. Peter consented to MC the evening (and did a fine job of it!).


The music was a mix of Celtic, Old Time, Jazz and a little bit of Rock.

Paddy's Pub Session Band is made up of two Mikes, Aaron, Ariana, and Denise...


Rise Up Shannon is Mike, Aaron and Denise...


Trip A Lady (triple-A, D) is Aaron, Ariana, Andy and Denise...


Mike Milne played by himself and with friends (Andy and Aaron)...
