The Folkers continue
to play Dormans
The Folkers have plenty of up and coming dates at their
regular spot in Dormans, Magherafelt. Sure a Sunday night ain't the
same without us. Come along and join in the craic. You may even
see special guest performers joining us on stage like Gerard (accordion man)
McStocker or Martin (Drummer boy) Donnelly and singers such as Gary Trainer
(good luck with the acting in London big lad), Lorna and Ciara, and off
course the night wouldn't be complete without a song from the odd drunk. So
come see us. We enjoy all your support and if you're up for it, we
will even let you buy us a drink (that includes bar staff) :-)
Banjo Bernard finally
ties the knot
![](photogallery/Montreal/xbernardsquare3.jpg) June
sees the wedding of Crazy Folker Bernard to Sinead. We wish them the
best and may they both have a great day and wonderful future together.
Looking for to the stag big lad.
2005 St Patrick's in Canada
![](images/LatestNews/50x25.jpg)
The Folkers had a great time this year playing at McKibbin's
Irish Bar in Montreal, Canada. We would like to thank all who
came and saw us perform and hope you had a great
time - we sure did. Thanks to Erin, Todd, Trudy, Ann-Marie and family
for all their hard work and effort in giving us a memorable time away.
The Radio, TV and newspaper appearances were a nice touch Todd and Erin- much
appreciated. As you may have noticed we have finally got around to
updating the site. This would not have been possible without images. Special thanks goes to all who forwarded their
photographs for use in the Folker's site especially Erin & Todd, Blythe (a fantastic bar lady
and
photographer) and Jennifer Slater- couldn't have done it without your great
snaps. Thanks to all the management and bar staff at McKibbins and
also to Ross (Blues Man) for doing our sound. Cheers to the man who
sent up shots on St Patrick's day and all others who bought us drink
throughout our stay in your great city. Thanks to those for signing
our guestbook and we look forward to hearing from the rest of you soon.

Kevin prefers the smelly
drum
![](photogallery/Montreal/xkevpointsmall.jpg) For
those who see us playing at home - you may have noticed a slight smell
around the band and in particular Kevin. It is not the smell of the
Butcher Boy but rather the skin on his drum. Every gig sees him
spraying copious amounts of deodorant all over it in the hope of disguising
the smell. While in Montreal Kevin decided to purchase a new drum
however, due to it's
inferior sound it has since become redundant and I'm afraid to report that
the smell goes on... God save the 'smelly drum'.
