This Friday, grab your lunch and head upstairs to the Mezzanine for some local lunchtime tunes from 12pm to 2pm! Larry has performed with numerous symphony orchestras, been in the pit for many musical theatre productions and played countless ‘gigs’ alongside a wide variety of talented cohorts. Lunch time becomes ‘Launch time’ and ‘The Myth’ becomes a reality at the Covent Garden Market. Ten, nine, eight… ‘enjoy’ !

Laika Berdey will be performing on the Rotary Square this Saturday from 8:30am to 10:30am.

Armed with little more than a leaf-green guitar and a loose tongue, Laika Berdey is determined to get you singing along to her carefully calibrated blend of emo-rock, pop-punk and indie-folk. Whatever the genre, all of her tunes are infused with a sentimental sensibility and a touch of smart aleck-y humour that laughs at itself one minute and sneers at you the next. Laika has been performing in London her whole life in various guises: a chorister with Amabile, a jazz vibraphonist, a Royal-Conservatory-trained pianist, and a classical flautist. These days you’ll find her strumming and singing her way across Ontario as an Emerging Artist with the Canadian Musicians Cooperative and a roster member of the London Arts Council, or you can catch her from anywhere in one of her weekly online livestreams.

Jiggesty-jig! Children’s Library is on the road. Grab your kids and head outside to the Rotary Square Saturday, April 15th at 10:30am for a half hour of special storytimes featuring stories, songs and rhymes!
