This song paints a picture of love intertwined with life in the city. Two cyclists cruise through a nighttime neighbourhood, humming tunes, hanging out, and wishing for it to never end... The song is dedicated to Mary Frances Lynch.

Doors open at 3 PM, with Dane George & The Old Beef String Band on at 4 PM, An Quon (Irish String Session) at 5 PM and Wendy’s band’s toe-tapping will commence at 8 PM. Admission will be only $10 at the door, so come early and stay late!
