The Avening Hall (or ACC North as some like to call it) is a little old hall in the hamlet of Avening, about an hour north of Toronto on Airport Road and a short paddle down the Mad River from Creemore, Ontario. It has a bowling alley in the basement, a picture of the Queen on the wall behind the stage, a main hall clad from floor to ceiling in wood and a faithful following of fans who like to see great old halls used for the reason they were built. That means great music, great parties and great fun (as well as the odd community dinner).
Over the years, the Avening Hall and its promoters the Friends of the Mad River have hosted Neko Case, Sarah Harmer, Fred Eaglesmith, Luther Wright & the Wrongs, the Silver Hearts, James McKenty & the Spades, Justin Rutledge, Sunparlour Players, Matthew Barber, Jenny Whiteley, Carolyn Mark, Hank & Lily, Hayden, Willie P. Bennett, Oh Susanna, Shuyler Jansen, Chuck Baker, the Cellars and the legendary Bogoslowski Wood Exchange.
Many hip-shaking shows to come…

Just a question (I’m trying not to sound passive aggressive because that’s totally not the spirit!): When did tickets for July 15th go on sale? I sent e-mails to Sara and subscribed when I initially read about the show, but I received no replies so I assumed that they were indeed impossible to get; now I’m kicking myself for not getting word in time to snatch some up
I’d embarrass myself - like, by auditioning for Canadian Idol with my pathetic set of pipes - for these! Any extremely remote possibility they can be obtained by legal means? I’ll pursue it!
