LUNCH AT ALLEN’S … FAREWELL TOUR!
featuring
MURRAY McLAUCHLAN, CINDY CHURCH, MARC JORDAN and IAN THOMAS
As the saying goes ‘all good things must come to an end’ and so it is with Lunch At Allen’s, who will embark on a country-wide Farewell Tour beginning in Atlantic Canada this October. Coming together in 2004, for what was meant to be a one-off 8-date tour presented as a song-writer’s circle, the four renowned artists discovered a soul-warming joie de vivre in performing together … and so began 20 years of camaraderie touring the country coast to coast.
Lunch At Allen’s is a musical powerhouse comprising four remarkable Canadian talents: Murray McLauchlan, Cindy Church, Marc Jordan and Ian Thomas. As individuals, they have written for or sung on over 25,000,000 CDs, penning hits for Josh Groban, Chicago, Bonnie Raitt, America, Santana, Cher and Rod Stewart, as well as Murray’s Farmer’s Song, Marc’s Marina Del Rey and Ian’s Painted Ladies, just to name a few. These three artists have come together adding the incredible voice of Cindy Church (Quartette, Great Western Orchestra) to form Lunch At Allen’s. Attending their stage show is to embark on an intimate musical journey replete with laughter and personal anecdotes, familiar favourites and new material, fashioning an unforgettable evening’s entertainment …from their hearts …to your soul.
“You would be hard pressed to find another Canadian ensemble with more collective depth of influence over Canada’s musical landscape than Lunch At Allen’s.” – The Beat Magazine

Edmund Zygowski’s work has to be seen to be believed! A stunning marriage of glass and mechanics, his work is a treat for all the senses.
Edmund spent his childhood in an industrial Lancashire cotton town, and his early adult life in various art schools and working as a toolmaker and engineer. He soon developed a keen interest in small mechanisms, which ultimately led him to study antique clock restoration and conservation.
After emigrating to Canada in the 80s, and becoming interested in studying the art of glass, his work became focused on mechanical visibility and exposing the secrets of mechanical operation.
This show will only be in our gallery for a short time – from November 6th to 16th, so don’t miss out. The opening reception is at 6:30pm on Thursday November 7th – please join us if you can.
