Welcome to Tim's Blog! Here you will find current information about upcoming events. Over in the right column is a (hopefully) current schedule.
Saturday, I'm playing at a Christmas market - no, not the one in Vienna, but in Gananoque.
It's happening at King and William in GANANOQUE - in the Richmond Realty property.
There is no dancing that I know of. (The parking lot is gravel)
I'm playing around 3:30 until I freeze - likely around 6 (in a tent thing)
"It's beginning to look......" I sure would love your company:)
On Sat. Nov 8 (soon) There is a City Cruise out of GANANOQUE at 12 for $10 for 1 hour.
I will have my keyboard set up, be on the boat, enjoying the cruise.
Then at 1, I will start to play music on the boat and Santa will arrive or depart or whatever .
Presumably Mrs. Santa also. I'm guessing Santa will be on the boat and then whip his suit on at 12:55.
Not so sure how that will work
I will play music for an hour. I presume it will mainly be Christmas music (on Nov. 8)
One thing for sure....I'll have a Blue Christmas without you.
H+H has had to cancel Toledo Legion Feb. 1 '26
as one half of H+H is on a Carribean cruise at that time
But we'll be at Westport Legion Jan. 11,1-5
and Merrickville Legion Feb. 20 '26 @7.......... (dinner at 6)
H+H will be playing, in fact, from 8:30 - 12:30ish
And what would be your suggestion for a song to play at midnight -
after Auld Lang Syne?
Hallman + Hoffman will be at Brockville Legion, (downstairs)
the first Sunday in October, November, December (2025).
Times are 1-5pm.
There is food involved in every dance/afternoon. You either pay $10pp for the dance or $12pp for wings and a beer which gets you 'free' admission to the dance.
Hallman and Hoffman will be at
Merrickville RCL Feb 20 2026
Quinte Social Dance Club. March 20 and October 2, 2026
BARRHAVEN RCL. (supper at 6 Dance at 7-10)
March 27, June 19, and September 25 2026. (near IKEA!!!)
This is a well established regular dance -
usually 'country' bands but they like Terry and I for our eclectic mix!
(about twice a year!, which is fine for us).
The dance is 7-11. at the Masonic Hall near the hospital in Belleville. 132 Foster Avenue.
There is a Facebook page for the Quinte Social Dance Club. for more info.
The floor is wooden! - nice dance hall.
The Brockville Legion has decided to cancel this Saturday night (ie Aug 30)
and do it instead, the afternoon of Sept. 7. Time will be 1-5 with food involved.
This Saturday ie August 2, 2025, H+H will be performing at the
Lombardy Fair for an hour, starting at 11:30!
I won't be playing that keyboard as I sold it years ago:)
There is a lineup of bands starting at 2 with 'open mic'.
H+H plays 3-4 (This is not a dance!)
From their website:
Prescott’s 1st Annual Beer Fest is set to be an exciting event that beer lovers won’t want to miss! Held in the heart of Prescott, this inaugural festival will feature a variety of craft breweries offering a wide selection of local and regional beers to sample. Attendees will have the chance to meet the brewers, learn about the brewing process, and enjoy live music, delicious food from local vendors, and fun activities throughout the day. Whether you're a craft beer connoisseur or simply looking for a fun time with friends, this event is the perfect way to celebrate Prescott's growing beer scene and community spirit. It’s sure to become an annual tradition!
The Mallorytown Legion dance, July 20 (Sunday afternoon) has been moved to July 27
1-3:30pm. ....poster coming
The July 27 dance is (mutually) cancelled for that date.
H+H will be at the Westport Legion that day from 1-5 with 'lupper-break' from 3-4.
While I'm playing away on the Canadian Empress almost weekly, Hallman and Hoffman have lots of things going on.
July 5 - we're at some 'beer' event in Prescott 3-4pm.
(Canada's Tim Hallman) is scheduled to play the GANANOQUE Farmers market July10 5-6.
H+H are at the Lombardy Fair Saturday August 2 from 11:30-12:30!
August 23 an outdoor the pavilion 'schoolhouse' event 1-4pm in Rockport.
We are playing the 3rd Wednesday in June, July, August on the waterfront in Rockport at 6:30-8:30 pm. (This means the August date ends up in the dark:). See you June 18!
My schedule doesn’t look that busy this summer, but actually I am busy!
I am performing approximately once per week from Victoria Day to Thanksgiving.
with a trio featuring Michael K. Myers and drummer, MIKE Sackell.
Michael is playing bass and I am playing strictly piano.
This is a situation where the boat lands either at Ivey LEA or GANANOQUE and we enter the boat and play on the second floor from around 9 to 10:30 We never actually travel on the boat!
This was supposed to have happened last summer also, but the thing was messed up because they couldn’t raise the bridge in Kingston and the Empress was stuck until July 7. We are still waiting for compensation:)
So….. if you add up all the Empress jobs and the Hallman & Hoffman jobs, I’ll be as busy as I wanna be this summer!
Strictly off the record, you are welcome to come aboard any night. All you have to do is pay about $4000 to come on the cruise.
This Friday night H+H will make our triumphant return to RCL 560 Montreal St. Kingston - in the lounge - from 7-11pm.
Then, Saturday, I will join Michael K Myers at RCL 631 'in the lounge'. 1-5 pm.
Sunday afternoon, (after church at Lyn in the AM, )
H+H will be at RCL Toledo (Ontario) 2-5pm followed by supper.
Toledo Legion March 2
For those who like 'room to dance' - this is the place!
Wonderful meal after dance, and a fun place.
Here is a view of the dance floor - from the stage (large stage)
