    "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).

    They had a good turnout tonight despite it being the coldest
    night of the year so far, They said hey plan to release their
    second album in the summer (so two in one year). I guess
    that will give them enough material to tour if they want to,
    though I think Dave will be touring with Rawlins Cross next
    summer.
