I am performing at the Water Valley Celtic Folk Festival this Saturday, June 21st in Water Valley, Alberta.  The first performance is with my husband Dave Gregory on clarinet at 11:15 am at the Water Valley Community Tent. The second performance is the Rosaleen Trio at "Settle In" at 12:45 pm. This year the Rosaleen Trio consists of myself on vocals and guitar, John Leeder on banjo and mandolin, and Dave on clarinet, as  Derek Lofthouse (our piper and multi-instrumentalist) was unable to join us.

However Derek does have a solo performance on hurdy gurdy and pipes at 10:30 am at the Water Valley Church Centre. Also catch John Leeder's solo performance at 2:15 pm at the Chinook Arts Centre/ Old Schoolhouse (Lower Level), and John with his son Rodger and friend Heather at 6:45 pm at Settle In.

Once again I will be performing at, and enjoying, the wonderful Princeton Traditional Music Festival, Aug 16-18, in Princeton, British Columbia. I have a thirty minute concert at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 17th at the new indoor acoustic stage. Directly after that, I will be rushing over to an outdoor stage to participate in a ballad workshop from 11:00 a.m to 12:30 p.m. I highly recommend this festival; it is one of a very few Canadian folk festivals focused specifically on traditional music. And it is free!

Meanwhile, looking forward to my debut with John and Derek at the Water Valley Celtic Festival in two weeks time!

Serpent's Knee is now also available for purchase both digitally and as a physical CD on CDBaby.





Serpent's Knee has had a lovely review by Moira Cameron  in Canadian Folk Music. Meanwhile, Sheath and Knife has been thoughtfully reviewed by Jacqueline Patten in  English Dance and Song Magazine and Steve Roud in the same issue of Canadian Folk Music (Winter 2013). Much thanks and appreciation to all three reviewers!

This is a one day Celtic music festival at Water Valley, near Cremona NW of Calgary, Alberta. I  will be performing two sets, one solo and one with Derek Lofthouse and John Leeder (the musicians who played with me on the CDs).  See the festival website: http://www.watervalleycelticfestival.org/

Sheath and Knife is now available on CDBaby. It can be purchased as a physical CD or individual tracks purchased as MP3s.

You can listen to clips and purchase CDs through Paypal right on this site.

Rosaleen will be performing at the Princeton Traditional Music Festival, August 17-19 2012 in Princeton, British Columbia, Canada. She will be participating in a Traditional Ballad workshop on Aug 18 (Saturday) from 11:00 am to 11:55 am at the Museum Stage. Her concert is on Aug 19 (Sunday) from 10:30 am to 10:55 am at the Museum Stage.

This wonderful one-of-a-kind festival is a real treat for all appreciators of traditional music and highly recommended!

Rosaleen's first two CD's, Sheath and Knife, and Serpent's Knee, have been recorded and mastered. The next step is production! We hope to have them ready for the Princeton Traditional Music Festival, Aug 17-19, 2012. They will also be available for purchase through this site.
