The Advantages of Retail...


You really do meet the nicest and sometimes, most talented people when running a retail store. One of them is Enoch Kent (nice for sure, talented see below), and we are proud to call him a customer.
Scottish-born, this legendary songsmith was co-founder of the acclaimed Singers Club with Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger. He even can make claim to hooking up Bono's parents so without Enoch there would be no U2!
Since immigrating to Canada in the 60s, Enoch performed in many folk clubs and festivals across the country to wide acclaim. During that time, he focused on live performance and decided to put recording aside for, as he says, “a wee while”.
After a 36-year recording hiatus, at 70 years young, Enoch well made up for lost time with his return to the studio and the release of 4 outstanding CDs on the Canadian indie label Second Avenue Records: “I’m A Workin’ Chap”, “Love, Lust & Loathing”, “For The Women”, and “I’m A Rover”. These albums have been garnering rave reviews, extensive airplay, 2 Canadian Folk Music Award nominations, and tour opportunities across Canada, the US, and UK.
But, aside from all this free PR above, we just want to let people know about a new project of his that is well worth attending- the Wee Folk Club, a small intimate club featuring some of the best folk, blues and traditional music in Toronto.
The next Wee Folk Club is THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7 at the Dominion on Queen (500 Queen St E, Toronto). Cover is $10. The music starts promptly at 7:30pm. Tell Enoch Mikey sent ya and he'll have to buy you a nice single malt scotch...
