We encourage you to contact us become part of the Tranzac community, as a member or a volunteer in one of Torontos most vibrant and exciting cultural spaces.HistoryTRANZAC is the abbreviation of the Toronto Austalia New Zealand Club. Its roots date back to the year 1931, when a small group of Australians and New Zealanders met in the Bay Street (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) offices of J.W. Collins, the New Zealand Trade Commissioner.Like so many newcomers to Canada, the group wanted to retain a part of their national identity and they formed a group primarily to welcome other Australian and New Zealand newcomers and to help meet the needs of their fellow countrymen by providing social activities, fostering fellowship and goodwill and promoting a better understanding of Canada.In December 1950, a formal meeting of the group at the King Edward Hotel resulted in the official birth of an Australian New Zealand Club in Toronto. By 1964 the membership had increased to 260 and official club premises were rented on Sherbourne Street.In 1966 the club was incorporated under the name TRANZAC and the hard working and enthusiastic committee set about working toward securing its own permanent premises. Membership and activities increased and the club moved from establishment to establishment to accommodate members and their friends. Finally, in 1971 all the hard work of the committees and support of the members became a reality and the club was in a position financially to obtain its own premises. TRANZAC moved to its present location at 292 Brunswick Avenue in October 1971.Over time the club formed alliances with a number of "official" subgroups, starting with the Nomads Rugby Club and the Friends of Fiddlers Green folk music club. At present our subgroups include Flying Cloud Folk Club, NAGs and Irish music and dance. The NAGs (Nomads Acting Group), beginning their 27th season in the fall of 2002, regularly stage plays and pantomimes at the Tranzac. The Chris Langan Branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóiri Éireann begin meeting at the Tranzac in 1979 and still has music lessons and the annual Chris Langan Traditional Music Weekend each winter at the Tranzac.The Tranzac is open to the general public and currently presents no-cover music Monday through Thursday evenings in our friendly Southern Cross Lounge. Concerts and plays are presented by our subgroups in the Main Hall. The public may rent our club facilities - recently our Main Hall has been packed for music festivals, film festivals, plays, a book launch, CD launches and other concerts and private parties.December 6, 200812:00 PM - Main Hall - The Artisans Gift Fair12:00 PM - Tiki Room - The Artisans Gift Fair8:30 PM - Main Hall - Hank LP Release with Nifty and DJ The Robotic Kid10:00 PM - Southern Cross Lounge - Michael Jackson Tribute: Shelby Lamb, Geordie Gordon & JM McNabFridayJanuary 23, 200910:00 PMSouthern Cross LoungeAndrew Vincent - CD ReleaseTranzac - 292 Brunswick Avenue - Toronto, Ontarioinfo@tranzac.org - (416) 923-8137 |

Scottish Mouth Music - Dolores Keane / John Faulkner |
| Mouth Music can be found in various forms throughout the world, but it is highly developed among the Gaels. It became part of the musical baggage of Scottish and Irish emigrants and travelled with them to Nova Scotia and down into the southern Appalachians. The term "mouth music" is likely to be a translation of the Scots-Gaelic "port-a-beul" ("tunes from the mouth"). It is sometimes sung with sparse instrumental accompaniment (bones, bells, drums) but is mostly unaccompanied. It was used as dance music and to make work lighter. |
