Guest: Michael Hynes
Born in Luxemburg, Mike Hynes was brought up in Quebec and is bilingual, which caused the around Town show to tip back and forth like a ship at sea between English and French.
Hynes is a composer and has to his credit over 140 compositions, one of which is to be performed by the Vancouver Symphony orchestra.

One of his favourite places to play is the Cafe Inn in Knowlton on Thursday nights because “the ambience is great, there’s a good energy in the room and the audience enjoys the music.”
