Students at Coquitlam’s Walton elementary school got a concert — and a dose of Canadian music history — from West My Friend yesterday (Thursday).
The Victoria-based folk trio, made up of UVic music graduates (from left) Alex Rempel on mandolin, Eden Oliver on guitar and flute, and Jeff Poynter on accordion, is on tour to promote its new CD, In Constellation.
Earlier this month, West My Friend was at the Evergreen Cultural Centre to perform tracks from the album with the Pacific Symphonic Wind Ensemble.
Walton staff and students assembled in the gym Nov. 21 to hear the unplugged musicians sing tunes by Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot and the Barenaked Ladies, among others.
Oliver also performed her original song Missing You.
