"Folk Night presents Cotillion
Dave Panting has been instrumental in the revitalization of Newfoundland and
Labrador traditional music through his work in the innovative folk band Figgy
Duff. He continues to have a strong influence on our music playing with
Rawlins Cross, The Forgotten Bouzouki, the Panting Brothers and Tanglecove.
Along with keeping the old tunes alive, Dave is expanding the catalogue of
Newfoundland and Labrador music with his own compositions.
Hugh Scott is a singer and musician from Newfoundland. He is also a
multi-instrumentalist, producer and award-winning songwriter (his song
Theresa Maria won the 1996 SOCAN Song of the Year). Hugh has opened for Tommy
Makem and the Yetties and has played with many other notable artists such as
Liam Clancy and Gullivers Spree. His songs have been performed and recorded
by Fine Crowd, the Ennis Sisters, Brown Ale, Celtic Wind, and Chris Murphy.
Gerry Strong is a whistle and wooden flute player who played for many years
with Tickle Harbour, A Crowd of Bold Sharemen and What Odds. With the first
two groups he recorded four albums and toured across Canada, Ireland, England
and Australia. Gerry has appeared as a guest musician on a multitude of
recordings including that of Irish uillean piper Paddy Keenan. In 2008 he
recorded his own CD entitled Velvet in the Wind, which features many of the
top traditional players in Newfoundland and Labrador today.
After teaching at the Vinland Music Camp together for the past 6 years and
sharing the party cabin they decide to finally officially get together and
formed Cotillion, each bringing their favourite songs and tunes to the band
and collectively arranging them using their experience of years playing the
music. They have just released their first CD, Tinker’s Wagon.“
Coming up on February 27 there will be a traditional jam session and
then on March 6 the fiddle dup The Sizzle Sisters (Chantelle Jubenville
and Carole Bestvater).
