Paul - sorry - no. I would love to go, but vacation this year is to the cottage and only the cottage. We're redoing a kitchen in a month and I spent all extra money on this thing:

For the money it better sound as sweet as a Tweedy solo show.

 

 

 

but I wanna ask, the premier Southern Ontario Festival is Hillside:

I have a better chance of making that. They have not released their performers yet, but I'm expecting something equally as great as the 'One Great City' festival.

 

BTW - saw John Samson on the weekend. He said the song 'Heart of the Continent' was only written because the city changed its slogan and he had to write another song.

Hopefully this bodes well for Jeff to appear at Ottawa Bluesfest, which is running at the same time.

 

I'm pretty sure he will be.

 

A lot of the same people playing the WFF are already rumoured to be playing Bluesfest, Blue Rodeo, M. Ward etc.

Gotta think that the quality and volume of these acts touring Canada is partially because of the high Loonie. Thank you Oil Sands.

I figured it was a long shot, but I had to try. Nice fridge, though! :thumbup

 

One of these days, I guess (he said, shaking his fist...) :pirate

yeah agree. I certainly love that it contains artists like Dan Mangan, Basia Bulat and One Hundred Dollars, which will be fantastic to see, but there is nobody on the list that's a big tent draw - like a Tweedy or an M. Ward.

 

I think the Folkies have accepted that things will never be the same again.
