Music Night A f Royal Orchard Pub/it , the is \ Ag'ain Michael Danckert sang two songs from the He- brides, “Sea Feast" and “Fion’s Keening for his Grandson, Oscar". These two songs had beautiful baunting melodies and Michael brought out these qualities in the songs and sang with ease \even the high notes. Jimmy Stever gave a mov- ing speech about the early Boer settlers in South Africa and their Great Trek into Natal. This was an introduc- land dances announced by Ian Matheson. A humorous song “My Boy Willie" was first sung.

The next song. also sung by the choir, was “The Snowy Breasted Pearl”, a sentimen- tal song about a lover who is not willing to be accepted by the lady of his choice. SOLOS FROM IRELAND . Michael Danckert treated the audience to two solos from Ireland “The Little Red Lark" and “I Know Where I’m Going’ ". Michael has a lovely clear ringing tone which was a pleasure to listen to. Next the children performed the complicated steps of the “Donegal Round Dance” from Ireland. David Martin, the next an- nouncer, then gave a brief history of Bonnie Prince Charlie. The choir sang “Charlie Is My Darling" about the triumphal entry of the Prince into Scotland and “Bonnie Charlie‘s Now Away", a song sung by the lamenting Scots about the Prince after he had escaped to France.

The choir sang two songs. “Brave Wolfe" commemorating the famous Battle of Quebec and the death of its hero at the moment of victory. The second song “Peter Amber’ ley" was about a lumbering man who left his native home in Prince Edward Island to go to the lumbering woods at Miramachi. There he was killed by a yarded log falling on him. The two songs were effectively accompanied by Graham Craig on the guitar. Next a quartet composed of Suzanne Davies, Haley Sone. John Greer, and Peter McCathie sang two songs, one was a bilingual song from Quebec “I Went to the Mar- ket". The other was a hu- morous song entitled “There is Lots of Fish in Bonavist’ Harbor”. These four not only sang the songs but also added movements of their own which added to the bounci- ness of the music. They were competently accompanied by Graham Sandham on the ac- cordian. The last number was greatly appreciated by the audience. SQUARE DANCING The last dance of the even- ing was square dancing, with calls being done by Roy Clifton. The children really enjoyed this dancing especial- ly and flung themselves into it with gusto. The piano accompaniment throughout the evening was done by Mr. de Arnot with the two South African songs being done by Barbara Kaye, and the sound was efficiently handled by Leigh Finlay. The children obviously in Willowdale and can make the special occasion (be it Birthday, Anniversary) or just dining a memorable event.
