Brantford Open Stage
Website
The new Brantford Open Stage began on Friday, January 6, 2006 to fill the void left by the cessation of the Brantford Folk Club's open stage sessions. Donald & Brenda McGeoch have devoted 23 years to creating a club with a significant audience component and an international reputation. Many of the regular participants had expressed the hope that someone would carry on the open stage tradition, and Dave Jensen has stepped in to organize a new club, to be known as the Brantford Open Stage.

Crash Paper Plane loves having a good time, from their intense, energetic live shows to just hanging out on off days, but they also have a message. A message of love and hope. "Kids these days go through so much crap in their lives," says drummer/vocalist Kyle Poulton. "We want to show them that there are other people who are going through the same kind of stuff and that there is hope for them and that someone loves them."

Don McGeoch
Website Original compostions and traditional songs of Ireland and Scotland.
In Scotland during the mid-sixties, Donald McGeoch, like most teenagers of that time, was engrossed in the music of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones until a friend introduced him to the songs of the Corries, the Clancy Brothers, and Archie Fisher. From then on, he has been singing and performing traditional Scottish and Irish folk music.

Downtime
DOWNTIME is Gary McCourt (guitar/vocals), Ralph Meyer (bass), and Peter Wien (drums/vocals).

Everyone needs a little downtime, and playing music for you is what these three lovers of blues and classic rock do to unwind from the pressures of everyday life.
Audiences are treated to a variety of tunes, from Big Bill Bronzy's Key To The Highway to Jimi Hendrix' The Wind Cries Mary with some original songs adding spice to the mix.
Feeling a little tired? Help yourself to a great coffee and some DOWNTIME at The Station!

Paul "Fingers" Minard
Paul started his musical life at an early age, playing piano from the age of three and was actually offered his first professional job at age 7. Once described by a teacher as having "the most innate sense of music I've encountered in 30 years of teaching", Paul composed and scored a piece for his high school's 53 piece orchestra at the age of 17. Much of Paul's adult life has been spent as a travelling ragtime piano player, performing in venues from the grubby to the grandiose; (Joe's Chicken Bar B Q to the King Edward Hotel); delighting audiences with his massive repertoire of memorized music (over 800 songs) and a razor sharp wit. Along the way, Paul composed and produced Toronto's Official Sesquicentennial Song, "Sweet Toronto Blues", and performed another original, "We're the Home of the Dome", recorded with most of the Boss Brass, at the first half-time show in Toronto's SkyDome for the Toronto Argonauts. Most recently, Paul has performed on Holland-America cruise ships in exotic ports from Antigua to Vladivostok, and now makes his home in Hamilton, Ontario working on new projects and promoting his album, "Old Feet/New Shoes".

British Isles Folk Music
Musicians; Brad McEwen (citterns and vocals) and Gwen Potter (violin and viola d’amore).

Brad McEwen is also the founder and Artistic Director of the Mill Race Folk Society.

‘Twegen’s repertoire consists of mainly traditional English dance tunes and songs, but other things have been known to creep in from Ireland, France, Brittany, Belgium and even Canada!

The combination of cittern and violin or viola d’amore results in a lively and fresh sound to many traditional folk music settings. Brad’s wealth of historical knowledge brings the listener a delightful insight into the background of many of the ballads and songs Twegen play.
