Hello all, The Winnipeg Folk Festival is over (boohoo) but we had a busy and great time out there in Bird's Hill Park. We hope everyone who made it out this year discovered plenty of new music and had a chance to hear some favourite performers. We were blown away by Jackie Green and The Buena Vista Social Club with Ibrahim Ferrer, found some new inspiration in Girlyman and Leela Gilday, and enjoyed the tried and true with the likes of Po Girl, Martin Carthy, Dan Frechette, Suzie Vinnick, Shooglenifty and Martyn Joseph (to name only a few). It was good to be home.
We're off to Vancouver this weekend for the Vancouver Folk Festival and it looks to be a very busy one. We have a workshop with Bruce Cockburn (!) and we'll be taking part in a tribute to Leonard Cohen. Can't wait! Hope to see many of you there...
