While Winnipeg folk/ roots/ jazz band the F-Holes may sound dirty, their June 8 show at the Slice was nothing but sweet and 
entertaining on a lot of different levels.
Approximately 20 people were having as much fun sitting in the audience as the band was on stage, playing a variety of original music.
The interplay between all of the instruments including a stand -up bass, trumpet, French horn, lap steel guitar and banjo plus drums, was amazingly tight. The musicians switched effortlessly between different instruments and the trumpet player was a sight as he writhed and blew jazz.
They played numerous tunes from their self titled debut CD including one of many highlights “Don’t Feel Bad” and “Dixie Band,” which not only highlighted their musicianship, especially the New Orleans Dixieland side, but also their sense of humour.
They didn’t slow down, at least not much as they wound down their show with a Bob Dylan cover “You Ain’t Going Nowhere,” which was followed by a jazzy version of “16 Tonnes” which brought the night to a raucous close.
