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.
