  • Spotlight Series: The Chimney Swallows

    Shawnigan Lake Community Centre - 2804 Shawnigan Lake Road

    The Chimney Swallows are a unique folk music duo and microtheatre troupe composed of songwriters Raghu Lokanathan and Corwin Fox. Playing music together casually, while working (& picketing) for the Victoria Public Library the friends discovered they had a mutual affinity for long conversations, song games and the stories of random strangers, & so began The Chimney Swallows. This is a real opportunity to enjoy a special performance by this unique duo as Raghu now resides in Prince George and Corwin on Vancouver Island, so it is rare to see them together, much like the avian phenomenon after which they are named.
