"Some cool news for the weekend - Grier Coppins has invited He Mistook Her For A Swan (Colleen Hodgson and myself) to do a set of tunes at his monthly gig at the Handlebar (159 Augusta) in Kensington Market this Saturday (January 17) from 3 to 6 pm. And dig this, we've got the incredible Trick Bag band with Grier, Chris Staig and Larry Graves backing us up! Will there be harmonium? Hell yes! Will there be bagpipes? You know it! Will there be any murderous behaviour in the songs. Wait and see. This is going to be super fun and as you know we don't get out much so come on down or you'll miss it."

He Mistook Her For A Swan plays songs from Lady Isobel @ The Mezz, Sunday

HMHFAS's Colleen Hodgson & Steve Koch revisit songs from their great new Lady Isobel LP at The Mezz on Sunday from 3-6 pm.

Writes Steve...

"And now for the forecast for the He Mistook Her For a Swan matinee gig at the Mezz.

"Sunday, January 26 from 3 to 6 pm, expect periods of murder ballads interspersed with occasional icy cold draft beer and other refreshing liquids.  It will be mostly gloomy punctuated by periods of indescribable happiness.  There will be scattered penny whistles and perhaps even a saxophone as we approach the 6 o'clock hour.  Chance of bagpipes.  Expect a beautiful harmonium and angelic singing around sunset.

"Hope you can make it out.   All your friends are gonna be there - maybe you should be too!"
