Perched above the shore with the ocean lapping at its feet, the Thatch Pub is the first sight to greet islanders and visitors as they arrive on Hornby Island.  Every Friday evening Annie Siegel (piano, vocals) comes over from Denman Island to join Dan Inglis (bass), Darryl Bohn (drums), & Tony Wilson (guitar), to make music.  Friday Night Jazz at the Thatch has been a fixture on the Hornby calendar since 1990.  Over the years many talented guests have dropped by to join the session.  Always something new and exciting!
