      of
      the
      most
      enjoyable
     
     
      evenings
      I've
      had
      in

      It
      was
      an
      evening
      of
      almost
     
     
      exclusively
      duets
      performed

      The
      Anderson
      House,
      which
      has
     
     
      been
      in
      operation
      since
      1981,
      is
      a
      provin-
     
     
      cial
      shelter
      for
      woman
      and
      children
      of
     
    

    
     
      ’
      abused
      families.
      Between
      70-80
      families
     
     
      from
      all
      over
      the
      Island
      make
      use
      of
      the
     
     
      shelter
      annually.
      Since
      it
      is
      non-profit,
      it
     
     
      relies
      on
      donations
      to
      stay
      in
      operation.
      It
     
     
      needs
      approximately
      $6000
      annually
      from
     
     
      the
      community
      to
      keep
      afloat.
     
    

    
     
      Mike
      and
      Malcolm
      Stanley
      began
     
     
      the
      evening.
      This
      father
      and
      son
      team
      per-
     
     
      formed
      a
      number
      of
      Canadian
      and
      folk
     
     
      covers,
      plus
      some
      original
      songs
      with
      clear
     
     
      Celtic
      influences.
      Sincere

      Their
      sound
      was

      receive
      the
      donations.

      As
      their
      usual
      venue
      is
      Babas,
      they
     
     
      weren't
      used
      to
      being
      paid
      attention

      admitted
      to
      nervousness
      as
      a
      result.
      I
     
     
      always
      enjoy
      their
      music
      and
      I
      think
      an
     
     
      attentive
      audience
      helped
      their
      perform-
     
     
      ance
      rather
      than
      hindered
      it.

      Forgeron
      were
      the
      next
      to
     
     
      take
      the
      stage.
      You
      will
      recognise
      the
      latter
     
     
      from
      her
      band
      Christina
      and

      the
      former
      from
      the
      Brooke
      Miller
      band.
     
     
      Both
      are
      great

      Brooke

      definitely
      work
      well
