Welcome to the Cowichan Folk Guild

"The purpose of our Folk Guild is simple... To bring musicians and audiences together and let everyone share the good times that follow."

Folk Guild Coffee House

Saturday February 13th, 2010

Featuring Steve Slade

Direct from the Yukon, Steve Slade has performed in concert from Yukon to Newfoundland and throughout the Continental United States and Alaska. He has performed for Princes and Premiers, daycares and nightclubs. His repertoire is intelligent yet affecting. His original songs seem to stike a universal chord with the listener.. Any given night you might find him adding the soul of Motown or Ray Charles, the pop sensibilities of Van Morrison and Bob Dylan or the country charms of Gene Autrey and Hank Williams. Join us February 13th for a great night of song by a fine entertainer.

Folk Guild Cofeehouse will no longer be located at St Andrews in Cowichan Station.
The February coffeehouse will be held at the Duncan Friendship Centre, #205-5462 Trans Canada Highway, Sun Valley Mall just south of Duncan. Turn right when traveling South at the Boys Road traffic light. Turn another immediate right and proceed past the Serious Coffee shop around the North side of the buiding for parking. The entrance is on the ground floor level.
NOTE: This is a temporary location for the month of February only.

We are very proud to announce that beginning in March we will be moving into our new (and bigger) home at the Duncan United Church, 246 Ingram St., downtown Duncan.
A special thank you to the United Church for making this possible.

February at the Friendship Centre, March at the United Church. Please help us spread the word
by informing everyone you know about the changes.

Doors Open 7:00 pm
Open stage 7:30 All performers welcome
Admission for CFG Members; by Donation
Non-members and guests $7.00
No charge for open stage performers

Upcoming Events

Musicians Registry

The Cowichan Folk Guild is in the process of building a musicians registry. We often receive requests from venues and other organizations to supply musicians (and equipment) for their events. We would like to hear from you if you are an active muscian and would like to be considered as part of our gig referral service. Send us an email with your name, the instrument(s) you play, the main style of music, and your contact information. We will add this information to our registry and will contact you when an opportunity arises. Kind of like a free booking agency. First dibs of course will be given to Cowichan Folk Guild members in good standing. It's only fair that our valued members get the perks first. Not a member, well you just found another great reason to join up.

Got Bottles! We need them!

As part of the CFG’s fundraising activities we have set up an account at the Duncan recycling centre. After sorting your bottles and containers just tell the counter person you would like to donate your return to the Cowichan Folk Guild. Every penny helps. We really appreciate your support and it helps the environment too!
