The Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Arts Society (NLFAS) is thrilled to announce “Friends of the Festival” – a fundraising concert!
Hitting the stage with songs and tunes to bring the house down are: Jim Payne & Fergus O’Byrne, Sandy Morris & Anita Best, Matthew Byrne, Zaynab Wilson, Rube & Rake, Sherman Downey, plus original members of legendary Figgy Duff – Pamela Morgan, Kelly Russell & Dave Panting.
Jean Hewson, Interim Board President says, “The Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Arts Society has been part of the cultural fabric of this province for decades, and this concert is a chance for the community to come together and support its future. On June 7, some of Newfoundland and Labrador’s finest artists are lending their talents to support the future of folk arts in this province. Every ticket purchased and every donation made against our debt will help rebuild the festival, the programs, and the spaces where our traditions, stories, and music can thrive. We hope people will come out, bring a friend, and be part of what comes next. We’re incredibly grateful to the artists and community members who continue to stand with us. We look forward to seeing you there!”
Doors will open at 6 PM with the show starting at 7 PM.
