At the request of a few Saskatoon Fiddle Orchestra friends, I have started recording some tunes that we are working on. I will post these on my YouTube channel in what I am calling the ‘Play Along With Kim’ series!! I figured other folks might get something out of this series too Here is today’s tune... https://youtu.be/8tOWgO_hZ3o

A bit of info on my March 13th show Really looking forward to working with Eileen Laverty and Paul Suchan!! 7:30PM, Saturday, March 13, 2021... Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra with: Paul Suchan, conductor Eileen Laverty, singer-songwriter Kim deLaforest, fiddler We’re joined by two incredible Saskatoon women who will bring us a touch of the isle. Eileen Laverty has earned recognition as one of Saskatchewan’s most significant singer-songwriters, and an SSO favourite in her previous performances she brings a touch of Ireland as well as her own songs to this program. Kim deLaforest is a multi-talented violinist (who often plays in the SSO!) who splits her time between performing and teaching fiddle all over Canada. She brings her joyous sound to this wonderful pre-St Patrick’s Day concert. Composer Paul Suchan leads the SSO through this night of traditional Irish music including favourites Molly Malone, the Cliffs of Moher, and Danny Boy!

Here it is...the show I’ve been teasing you with Mark this one on your calendars...you can watch from your own home!! https://saskatoonsymphony.org/event/dublin/
