The Young Folk At The Hall (St. John’s) is in it’s 18th year, produced by the Newfoundland Folk Arts Society, and Fergus O Byrne. It has helped raise some of St. John’s great folk recording artists, now touring, and recording.
Full circle, these talents come back to mentor the next generation of musicians, and pass on the traditions and music, through workshops, and two concerts that will take place at the LSPU Hall this February 3rd, 2019.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Arts Society loves to highlight the many budding talents of this city, and province. We like to help them keep going, and give you all an opportunity to keep up with the young folk!
