YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT BYTE-TOWN.CA
GOOD FOR YOU! It must be one of your lucky days. We hope you’ll have many more.
This is the website of Byte-town Fyfer. It lists the few currently available musical and other works of Sjef Frenken. If you want to know a bit more about him, click on BIO. But he won’t mind if you don’t.
NEWS FLASH:
The second CD in the series Songs for the Inner Child is nearing completion. All of the vocal and instrumental tracks have been laid down. The singer is Kathleen Johnson; the Aomezeyck Ensemble does the rest of the work. The poems are by an American writer. The expected date of release is late summer 2010. If you'd like to be advised at the time of the actual release, please contact byte-town.ca
Work has also begun on the third CD in the series. The words were penned by a well-known Englishman who died in 1888. The instrumental arrangements are complete. Most likely the small handful of musicians for this enterprise will be drawn from the Aomezeyck Ensemble. The composer is thinking of singing the songs himself. Well, it’s his dime…
PAST NEWS:
THE CONCERT AT WELLINGTON
As you may have read here before, the trio-manqué of Frenken and Froese, assisted by bassist Doug Wicken, gave its fourth annual concert (their own songs in round-robin format) on 25 April 2009. On short notice, Lorain Sine and Eric Pilgrim, two singers well-known in the Prince Edward County area, volunteered their services to substitute for the terminally ailing third member of the trio, Bob Froese. This benefit performance at the Wellington Town Hall gathered approximately $900 for the Wellington Public Library Landscaping Programme.
And a tiny FLASH:
A second concert in Wellington, following up on last year’s success, will take place on Saturday, 24 April 2010, at the Wellington Town Hall. Scheduled to perform are David Simmonds, Loraine Sine, Eric Pilgrim (all from Prince Edward Country) and Rick Hayes, Greg Kelly and Sjef Frenken (from Ottawa). Doug wicken will assist again on bass.
Tickets can be purchased at the door for a modest 10 dollars.
