Bring your Saturday night singing voice to a Folk Music Pub Night at Wesley United Church on Oct. 19.

Local trio Tea for Three will be joined in concert by two other local folk musicians, Bill Nesbitt and Tom Miller.

Admission is by donation, organizers said in a release.

Tea For Three consists of Paul Morris, Gwen Potter and Brad McEwen, who are also members of the band Tethera, which has performed across Ontario and in the UK.

Their repertoire is traditional folk music, mostly from England, with many tunes from France, Belgium, Scotland, Canada, Scandinavia and anywhere else as long as they like it and it fits.     

Nesbitt loves traditional music of all kinds and plays Anglo Concertina. He also plays for Contra, Morris and Ceilidh dances throughout southern Ontario. He has a particular interest in songs and tunes from Newfoundland. 

Miller has been attending folk clubs, concerts and festivals for more than 50 years, and singing at open stages for over 20 years. He ran the Moonshine Cafe Folk Club and Song Circle in Oakville for 13 years before moving to Cambridge.

“Tom sings unaccompanied - all the songs have choruses - please join in,” McEwen says.

The Cambridge event is organized by Wesley United Church and Mill Race Folk Traditions.
