The Toronto-based Friends of Fiddler’s Green boast six versatile musicians, four fine singers, three songwriters, a brilliant joke teller, one Order of Canada recipient, one Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient, and one of the longest track records in Canadian folk music. This totally uncategorizable collection has been together, with a few personnel changes, since their inauguration at Toronto's Fiddler's Green coffeehouse in 1971. Nobody, not even the Friends themselves, can predict what might happen during one of their concerts, but it always includes humour, powerful vocal harmony, great musicianship, social commentary and an irresistible urge to dance.

The Friends are Ian Bell, Alistair Brown, Grit Laskin, Jeff McClintock, Ian Robb and James Stephens. In 2003, the band received the Estelle Klein Award, given by the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals, for service to folk music in Ontario. Saturday September 26.

296 Broadview is not yet a fully wheelchair accessible venue, with stairs between all levels. Our goal is to fix that, and we need your support to do so - please consider making a donation towards our goals to make HRL the best listening room in Toronto!
