The series has operated since 1986 and has brought world-renowned folk artists to Downtown Peterborough.

“After 38 seasons I have decided to wrap up the Folk Under The Clock concert series,” said Mike Barker. “It's been an amazing journey, meeting and working with so many incredible musicians and patrons. I feel honoured to have played a role in the Peterborough cultural scene for so long.”

On Sept. 17, Scottish folk band Talisk kicks off the event at 8 p.m. Miscellany of Folk arrives a month later on Oct. 17 while Breabach hits the stage on Oct. 20. Scottish-born Canadian David Francey rounds out the list on Nov. 28. All four performances are at Market Hall.

The spring concert date and time has yet to be announced. Acts will include artists such as Dougie Maclean, Spirit of the West, Tom Paxton, Stephen Fearing and more.
