NOVA SCOTIA MUSEUM-SHANTIES AND SONGS BY THE SEA
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Robert Billard and his Maritime folk group Oakfield Times will
present an afternoon of songs by the sea on Sunday, Oct. 15 at 2
p.m. at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Halifax.

Performing both traditional and original music, the folk artists
will also look at the origins of the music, and how, why and
where such songs were sung. It's an opportunity to explore the
region's Maritime musical heritage of voice.

There is no admission charge, but donations to the Food Bank
would be greatly appreciated.
