We are sad to hear of the passing of long time Albert Hall volunteer Helene Suiter. Many of the bands knew Helene as the voice of their weekly reminder calls. Her husband Al has been a fixture on the stage and picking shed for many years. Our thoughts go out to Al and family. She will be missed.

View Helene L Suiter's obituary, send flowers and sign the guestbook.

Another great band to bring some holiday cheer for our Singin' with Santa Show! James Dalton returns with his son for this special family show! Always a fun time with folk singer/songwriter dad James killing it on the guitar/harmonica, and little James doing an excellent job of keeping alive the tradition of spoon-playing at the Hall! Spoon-playing goes back to a time when folks would make up instruments from household items... you can see some of these displayed on our walls! Also, front right is an outfit worn by the Halls' original Mr Spoons! 🥄🥄
