Eclectic and original with a real deal trad vibe, this is an excellent band to catch if you can.

We will have this first rate folk and trad duo singin’, pickin, and grinnin’ their way through two sets of as fine a pub show as you will find anywhere.

We like to end off each month with a few tunes around the table for a casual evening of music. Each evening has a designated host and all tune players are welcome to join regardless of skill level, so feel free to sit in and learn a few if you like.  

You’ve had a grand year Folk Night. Take a break and the best of the season to you and yours, the grand staff at the Ship, the Folk Night crew and our loyal and lovely audience.

But in the meantime….BRAGGAROO 3 will be rocking the Ship and while it is sold out, you can make a donation at the link below to lend a hand to one of St. John’s finest and fiercest creatives. Heck, you could probably hang out in Solomons Lane and have a great evening of it sure.

Rock on Bragg!

Come all ye and I’ll spin a yarn…On Tuesday, September 19th, seven of Canada’s finest folk musicians will join forces for a very special concert, weaving together story songs and tunes from home and away. The show will spotlight beloved local legends Matthew Byrne, Jean Hewson, Christina Smith, Gerry Strong, Billy Sutton and Jason Whelan as well as Cambridge, Ontario’s Allison Lupton. The concert will also include the debut of “Step Up Molly”, a song by Lupton about the young women who were recruited from Newfoundland to work in the Dominion Woollens Mill in Cambridge, ON during WWII.  The show will be opened by special guest, Charla Woodford. Tickets to attend the event in person have sold out, however, you can purchase live stream tickets below!

Whoa. Doug is hands down one of the finest fiddlers to ever bend a bow around here. Doug will be joined by Andrew Dale so this is truly a special evening in the works here.

Hey seriously. Don’t sleep on this one.

A rare one here folks. Tell the blues fans and come early for a seat!
