Vashon Island’s Cafe Luna kicks off Valentine’s Weekend with a Wine and Jazz Event on Friday, February 13, from 6 – 8 PM.  Admission is $8 for wine tasting.  This is the first of a series of wine tastings to be held on the second Friday of each month. Each tasting will feature five reasonably priced wines.  This inaugural event is host by Vashon Winery owner Ron Irvine. 

The wine-tasting will be followed by a free jazz performance by the Hobson Person Trio, starting at 7:30 PM.  The trio consists of Islander Jim Hobson on piano, Vashon native trumpeter Richard Person, and vocalist Lauri Hennessey.

On Sunday, February 15 at 6 PM

The Celtic Players Meet The Knitters!

Here’s a Vashon institution that just happens to find its home at cafe Luna each Third Sunday of the month. So, grab a beer and have a great time with these fun-loving folks. At least a dozen of the 70 musicians show up to play most of the merry melodies (mostly Irish jigs, reels, and polkas) from memory. Beginners are welcome; staying with the beat is the only requirement. Get a head start with the 250 tunes on their website, homecomcast.net/saustin98.  [Editors note: the link to the site does not seem to work at present . . . but you may have better luck].

And then there’s the Knitters! Knitters of all abilities and persuasions are invited to bring their projects to the Cafe, knit, schmooze, and learn from each other while the Celtic Players work their understated and very merry magic. What a fabulous combination! For more information about the knitting, contact David Guion, 463-1680.
