Olde Stone Cottage in Scarborough doesn’t normally have live music Sundays but this afternoon at 4:20 features versatile Julian Taylor with his band and a set by Flynn Tanner. Cover charge in effect.

With summer over the monthly last-Sunday Lazy Cat Open Stage is set to resume today 3-5:30 in the Community Centre at Bain Co-op in TO’s Riverdale area. There’s no feature this month but I’d expect co-hosts David Shilman and Linda Lavender will perform.
