Jenny Allen and Pete Loughlin turned their Nov. 6 appearance at 
the Lethbridge Folk Club into the Allen and Loughlin comedy hour for a smiling 25 or so audience members.
Jokes, quips and humourous anecdotes were as much a part of their first set as was catchy acoustic folk music.
In between jokes, Allen sang heartfelt break-ups songs, then turned around and grinned at the audience while Loughlin added intricate bass and vocal harmonies. Allen told a story about the Shamrock Hotel and some of the characters associated with it before singing a highlight of it.
But rather than just straight ahead folk, she also added a touch of jazz as well.
“My Big Mouth” was a highlight of their set, which they wound down with a Gillian Welsh cover.
