Great music with Jim & Fergus

Meet Jim & Fergus

Traditional music icons Jim Payne and Fergus O’Byrne have worked together for the past 30 years promoting Newfoundland and Labrador musical culture. As dynamic performers whose traditional and original songs reflect our collective experience, they have toured every inch of the province; as educators, put thousands of students in touch with their cultural heritage; and as world-class touring artists, travelled hundreds of thousands of miles to bring our story to the globe. Multi-award winners with over a century of experience in the business between them, their brand-new CD, Wooden Boats, released in November, is an homage to our seafaring history.

Message from Jenny

Welcome to one of Nanaimo's best known performing venues and now the home of the OLD CITY ARTS HUB!


After many months of planning with the members of St Andrew's United Church and listening with an open mind to the ideas of the Nanaimo community - performing artists, choral groups, theatre presenters, and list goes on, we are ready to begin a journey of revitalization and support of our Nanaimo community.  At Old City Arts Hub, we are dedicated to fostering a vibrant arts community in the heart of the city.
