I love doing Stan Rogers' music in my solo show but this was a particular treat for me. Paul Mills has organised one of these tributes at Hugh's Room in Toronto, each year for the last eight. This version featured me, Steve Ritchie, Connie Kaldor, Nathan, Ariel and Beth Rogers.
The band was fabulous with Paul on guitar, Trevor Mills on bass, Anne Ledermann on fiddle and mandolin, and Tom Leighton on keyboards, accordion and bodhran. The place was packed and rocking!
