With this durable trio he has toured every corner of the continent, recorded fourteen albums, and made countless television and radio appearances. He has become well known for his original songs about Canada's and particularily Ontario's identity and heritage. James is a regular songwriting contributor to the CBC radio programs "Ontario Morning" and "Basic Black". He has also released several solo albums for adults and children, composed works for symphony orchestras, co-written a series of family musicals, and written music for theatre, dance and film. His songs have been recorded by a number of artists including James Keelahan, The Cowboy Junkies, Melanie Doane, Al Simmons and Ian Bell. James has recently signed on with The Borealis Recording Company, Canada's foremost folk label. We are indeed proud to have him in concert for the release of his latest album. James' powerful singing voice, his multi-instrumental abilities and infectious good humour will ensure that this will be one of those 'special' evenings that you will long remember. So come along, and bring a friend to our homey, comfortable folk club to hear this talented individual. Opening for James will be the The Sirens, that wonderful harmonious trio of women whose CD release we had the pleasure of hosting last Jan.

I quote it word-for-word. "A commercial tie-in might also be behind the recent program purge at cjrt-fm. The non-profit classical and jazz station has become increasingly commercial since the arrival in 1998 of Chuck Camroux, who's struggling to make up the Harris government's 1996 cancellation of the $1.3 million provincial grant. - about 40% of the station's revenue. Last weekend heard the end of the cjrt-fm's folk, world-music, blues and swing era Saturday afternoon shows. Rumours of the cancellation resulted in a deluge from fans around the city, admits cjrt-fm music director Alex Baran. Gone from Sunday's lineup are Records In Review and Sunday At The Opera. Starting today, Saturday's afternoon slot will feature a jazz show hosted my Mary Lou Creechan. Sunday's, starting tomorrow, will have mostly classical music. "Money," said Baran recently, "it's all about money." With the new streamlining Camroux projects saving of up to $100,000 a year. But, sources close to the station say Camroux's projections are nonsense. "The maximum he's saving is around $25,000 through these cancellations," says one insider. "And he's going to lose far more than that in pledges, which aren't going to come to the station when they start fundraising on air. These fans are really(bleep)." But, the Toronto's newspaper wars may be the real deciding factor behind cjrt's streamlined new format. A recent deal between the station and the National Post will have cjrt being offered live -in real time audio, as part of the National Post Online service -within a few weeks. Since the National Post survey found that 40 per cent of its readers preferred classical and jazz, it surely behooves cjrt to go along with its newfound media partner. Conrad Black and Woody Guthrie are not on the same page. Yet this apparent boon for jazz buffs might prove to be a bust. All the new jazz added to the station since Camroux arrived has been lightweight non-jazz. If what Post readers really want from the station proves to be pleasant, jazz Musak, then 35 year veteran Ted O'Reilly's weekday program, a source of real jazz, might be in danger, too. And cjrt-fm would have the bucks but not the music." by line: Peter Goddard.

Oct. 10th Time: 8:30pm Place: The Free Times Cafe, 320 College St. (west of Spadina) Admission: $10 Info: 416-264-2235 ______________________________________________ Yes, that writer of that wonderful song "Sonny's Dream" is back again - wait til you hear his powerful, poignant and heart wrenching "Atlantic Blue"! I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity to hear him perform in Toronto. He will also be appearing at Octoberfolk in Brantford on Sat. Oct. 7th. Here's a little bit of info about him: Hailing from Newfoundland, Ron Hynes began his singer/songwriter career in the early 70's playing the coffeehouse circuit throughout the Maritimes and Ontario. While on a theatre tour with The Mummers Troupe in 1976, he composed "Sonny's Dream" the song that has gone on to become a folk classic with about 70 cover versions recorded by dozens of artists worldwide. Ron was a founding member of The Wonderful Grand Band, a musical comedy show featuring a six-piece trad/folk/rock band together with various members of Codco. The group produced two original albums, forty-one half hour TV shows for CBC and toured the country nonstop for six years. He's had two principal theatre roles as songwriter Johnny Burke in "The Bard of Prescott Street"and as country legend "Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave" as well as the lead role in an independent film, "A Secret Nation" for which he won the Genie for Best Song ("The Final Breath"). Ron has won many other awards including: five times Peoples Choice winner, a three time East Coast Music Award winner, a Juno and CCMA nominee and in 1992 the Nfld/Labrador Arts Council Artist of the Year award; in 1997 the MIA awards for Song of the Year ("Godspeed") and for Male Artist. Between writer/performer projects Ron concentrates much of his energy in conducting advanced workshops, song and tape critiques and creative sessions for new writers in his capacity as a director and vice-president of the Songwriters Association of Canada. Ron's new CD is entitled "Standing In Line In The Rain" and he can be seen playing the irrepressable Johnny Shea character in the CBC/Rinkrat TV series Doolie Gardens. ----------------------------------------------------------- Lillian A.

Folks, I just rec'd the following email from Scotland's Robin Laing, who I met during his last trip to Canada. He is, in my opinion, one of the world's finest traditional singer/songwriters. >I'm starting to plan my next trip to Ontario, which will be roughly between >early September and mid October 2001. On previous trips I've done about half >a dozen gigs and I hope to do a little more next time. > >Since my last trip (Oct '98), I have brought out a new CD, "Imaginary Lines" >which I think is my best yet, and which has had very good reviews. > >"Listening to the words on this album it is impossible not to >feel your spirits uplifted. Laing can be wise and funny, sad >and at the same time deeply moving. If you enjoy poetry >and folk music the combination on this CD should be >irresistible". THE SCOTS MAGAZINE > >Most of the tracks are my own songs and any gigs I do will usually be about >80% my own stuff and 20% trad. - with always a bit of humour tucked away. > >I also hope to do "The Angels' Share" which is my show on the subject of >Malt Whisky. I remember singing about whisky in Brantford, Toronto and Big >Bay last time and is seemed to go down rather well, (as did the whisky >chaser!). This has a much higher content of trad. songs as you would expect. > >"Robin has the perfect voice for this project, as warm and >smooth as the whisky he sings about" DIRTY LINEN >"Robin Laing has few superiors. He is heard at his >compelling best in "The Angels' Share"". THE SCOTSMAN > >I hope we get a chance to meet up again and please let me know if you are >doing any gigs while I am over. > >Yours > >Robin Laing I'm not drawn to hyperbole...and I've never given a public 'testimonial' for another singer/songwriter. That being said, I'll go on the record as calling Robin's writing 'first-rate', his singing 'poignant' and his performances 'riveting'. Unfortunately, for most Canadian audiences he remains an undiscovered gem. If you are interested in considering Robin for your concert season, festival or house concert series, please drop an email at: 100060.1000@compuserve.com ...I'm sure that he'd be happy to send you a cd/press kit. Thanks for considering this, Gregg Lawless p.s. No, I have no vested interest in this...I just think that this guy is fantastic and would like to share him with the rest of you. - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From go-sabres@mail.com Mon Oct 2 17:13:27 2000 Date: Mon Oct 2 17:13:27 2000 From: Arnie Ivsins go-sabres@mail.com Subject: [mplpost] Barrie Folk House Concert Just a note to let people know about this Friday's house concert in Barrie with Bill Garrett & Sue Lothrop with Curly Boy Stubbs.

Greetings, Find the attached reply from Mr Camroux about the CJRT cuts.. Thank you for your e-mail and comments. CJRT depends on both advertisers and listeners (individuals and corporations) equally for support. In recent times CJRT has had to reduce costs substantially, and these recent freelance personnel cuts were driven by finances. I suppose in many ways, this is a wakeup call to listeners. If the programs are to stay, they must be supported by a substantial audience. As a donor-listener, which I understand you are, you are no doubt aware of our circumstances. As they change, so may our programming. As you know, CJRT is licensed as a "Special FM" station with classical and/or jazz as the basis of our music programming. It is this core which we shall continue to focus. The CRTC is not involved in our individual programs, nor should they be. I am sorry that you have decided to discontinue support, but understand your reasons. As to your comment about the National Post, Conrad Black, et-al, I am sure that came from the newspaper, and as the old saying goes, don't believe all you read in the press. We have no relationship whatsoever other than the Post asked if they could rebroadcast our Internet signal. We are happy to oblige, as it is only good business to use their site to attract a larger audience. Just as the Star, Sun and others use other sources to enhance their audience. But it made for interesting copy that Goddard obviously needed to fill during a light week. Again, thank you for your e-mail and comments.

Archie Fisher was amongst the first to bring the six-string guitar into the celtic idiom, inventing his own tunings and finger style in the process. His creativity as a musician and craftsmanship as a songwriter have kept him amongst the most respected folk musicians on the festival circuit for nearly forty years. To many Canadians he is best known as the seminal influence to the late Stan Rogers, who recorded and performed several of Archie's songs, and his brother Garnet, with whom he toured and recorded. Few musicians can blend word images so well with the sounds of the instrument and human voice. Archie Fisher's concerts are virtual portraits of Scotland made accessible to everyone. Come and join us for a special Sunday evening with one of Scotland's finest! NORLAND WIND - Canadian Tour - October 2000 The Irish music group NORLAND WIND which records for the Celtic Heartbeat label and has strong connections to the group CLANNAD is touring Canada for 10 days to coincide with the release of the group's latest CD "Autumn Maple" which will be released around the world in the next couple of months. Thomas Loefke (Celtic harp) performs music spanning many centuries and styles: from the Celtic middle ages to the music of the bards, who roamed Ireland during the 14th to the 18th centuries; from the lively dances of Irish folk music to his own original compositions. Each piece has its own unique sound, texture and atmosphere and its own story to tell. Since 1984 he has toured in Ireland, England, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, USA, Canada and Germany and has won many international prizes for his harp playing, including first prize at the O'Carolan Harp Festival in 1987. Also, Norland Wind's Ian Melrose has toured as Clannad's lead guitarist for their 1998 world tour and is on the group's most recent album "Landmarks".

Can you help me? I am looking for old Stringband fans, members, sidepeople and friends. Next year it will have been 30 years since Stringband's first gig. (We went our separate ways 15 years later, in 1986.) To mark the occasion, we are at long last going to release a Stringband collection on CD - the best of Stringband's half-dozen albums, plus files of stories, pictures and live performances. So we are seeking old fans and comrades to: * help choose the songs; * contribute recollections of Stringband's life and times; * loan us old tapes, photos and memorabilia; * help us find other pockets of Stringband-philes. If you are an old Stringband head, please get in touch through our web-site www.stringband.net. (Note: it is ".net" not ".com.") Or contact me, bob@stringband.net. Other routes below. If you think you might know where old Stringband fans may lurk, would you please forward this message. Or alert us, and we'll follow up. They are out there somewhere - hey, we did sell 50,000 albums in Canada. Below, find a mini-bio of Stringband. Thanks.

For those too young to know, Stringband performed Canadian folk music from 1971 to 1986. Gary Cristall, founder of the Vancouver Folk Music Festival wrote of us, "Stringband opened the doors to a glorious chapter in the cultural history of this country. They proved there was an enormous amount of music worth playing in Canada. They proved musicians could actually make a living without leaving the country. They paved the way for artists like Stan Rogers, Connie Kaldor and dozens of others and helped create a vibrant alternative acoustic music scene that featured songs which actually had something to say... While various artists have covered one or another aspect of the ground that Stringband trod, no group has covered the waterfront in the way they did." Stringband members included BOB BOSSIN, MARIE-LYNN HAMMOND, CALVIN CAIRNS, DENNIS NICHOL, BEN MINK, TERRY KING, ZEKE MAZEREK, NANCY AHERN, STEVE DARKE AND JERRY LEWYCKY. Session players and musical friends include JANE FAIR, PINEAPPLE FRANK, DANIEL LANOIS, KIERAN OVERS, STAN ROGERS, CHRIs and KEN WHITELY - to name just a few. Stringband's "folk hits" include SHOW US THE LENGTH, DIEF WILL BE THE CHIEF AGAIN, MIC MAC SONG, THE MAPLE LEAF DOG, TUGBOATS, I DON'T SLEEP WITH STRANGERS ANYMORE and FLYING/SPRING OF '44.

But, wot-the-heck, what are RRSPs for, anyway? What one needs is 100 people in an audience, not 50!! Tomorrow (Sunday Oct. 8) Vance Gilbert, arguably the funniest "folk" singer and songwriter anywhere (and who also rips your heart out with some of his songs) is at Ted's Wrecking Yard, 549 College St., Toronto, at a no-smoking show with the doors at 7 p.m., and a show at 7.30. Newfoundland's Ron Hynes, in his only Toronto appearance on this mini-tour, opens. Advance tickets, with GST, are $13.25 from calling me at 351-1323... Yup, I know it's the eve of Rosh Hashana; yes, I know you're all gonna be stuffed with turkey; yes, it's a long weekend and you're visiting your relatives out of town. Eat early, is all I can say! Seriously, Vance and Ron make up a significant double bill; it'd be nice if you'd come and share it.

Seriously. I have lived in Toronto since 1970.I have played in Nicaragua and Germany and Scotland and even in BOTH L.A.'s - Los Angeles AND Lethbridge,Alberta, but work in the Big M. has eluded me. At last I'm ready to, in the words of Jim Morrison, "break on through to the other side". Bob Johnston and I are doing a concert in the Royal Bank studio theatre at the glamorous Living Arts Centre. Oct.21, 8 p.m.. Box office (905) 306-6101. Tickets $25. I know that's high, but I promise to change my outfit at half time, and to make it even more worthwhile, I will post my WORST REVIEW EVER in the lobby. This is a review of "Gaelic Envy" that Borealis had hidden away in a file, but I found it and it's just about the most vitriolic thing I've ever read. I'm counting on people buying the cd just to find out if anything could be that bad! I showed it to Rick Whitelaw, who played guitar on the album, and he enjoyed it so much he put it up in the band room at the Lion King. And so, my fame grows, in increments, one fan at a time. I figure I'll be singing O Canada at the Skydome next summer, no problem. Then, Oct.22, Sunday, Bob and I are opening for Susan Werner at Ted's Wrecking Yard down on College Street. It's part of Richard Flohil's fall accoustic series. Un gros merci for your valuable time.

Friday night, The MICHAEL PICKETT Band played The Mermaid's Lounge in Hamilton and Sonny Rhodes showed up. Apparently, people had been telling him about this Michael Pickett guy and how he MUST check him out. And so he did... and was awestruck by what he heard and saw and became an instant fan. Sonny was at the Silver Dollar Room Saturday night with his own band and we went to take in a set or two and also to see Eddy B's photo exhibit in the back room. Exquisite B&W photographs simply mounted in black frames with white mattes. The common thread was that every one of the pictured personalities were caught in performance at the Silver Dollar. Beautiful job Eddy. Back to the music... Sonny invited Michael to get up with him and play harp on a few tunes, which he did and it was great. Sonny gave him long solos and obviously loved what he heard. No slouch on the guitar (lap or otherwise) was Mr. Rhodes... and fun to watch. His love of music and performing is evident and genuine and I love that kind of honesty. At the end of this wonderful night I had a chance to talk with both Sonny and his wife Annie and discovered for myself how sweet and good-hearted they are. Now here's a special announcement: _____________________________ TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10 - SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14 THE MONTREAL BISTRO 65 SHERBOURNE STREET (AT ADELAIDE) TORONTO, ON (416) 363-0179 Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... 9pm to 12am Friday, Saturday... 9pm to 1am ------------ The Montreal Bistro proudly presents The MICHAEL PICKETT Band featuring Doug Riley on B3. Michael Pickett... vocals, harmonica, resophonic guitar Shawn Kellerman... guitar Steve Chadwick... bass Gary Craig... drums and maybe one or two other surprise guests... it's an unpredictable world at times. The Bistro is traditionally a jazz club which has opened its doors to this very special and unique brand of the blues. The club has an ambience that invites one to nestle in and just feel good. They also have an incredible menu so if you'd like to dine before the entertainment, please do but call for reservations. We look forward to seeing you there. -- Louise -- mailto:mail@michaelpickett.com Mother Earth Management Michael Pickett, Artist http://www.michaelpickett.com Wooden Teeth Records Festival Distribution Inc. http://www.festival.bc.ca - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From vezco@cgocable.net Mon Oct 9 10:34:54 2000 Date: Mon Oct 9 10:34:54 2000 From: vezco@cgocable.net vezco@cgocable.net Subject: [mplpost] test This is just a test. - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From tunes@magma.ca Mon Oct 9 10:51:51 2000 Date: Mon Oct 9 10:51:51 2000 From: Kathryn Briggs & Terry Tufts tunes@magma.ca Subject: [mplpost] GIG: ON --=====================_7579976==_.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Hello All; I leave for a ten day run into Southern and Central Ontario at the following locations: Wednesday October 11th, 2000 MITCHELL Deep Waters Music Email: stephy@quadro.net (519)-229-6083 Hall (519)229-6616 2887 Martyn Street Friday October 13th, 2000 8 p.m. SARNIA Bev and Gord Walkling 254 Twin Lakes Dr. 519-542-9872 Email: walkling@ebtech.net minimum $10 donation Saturday October 14th, 2000 7:30 for an 8:00start PETERBOROUGH Kate Jarrett & John Hart 212 Geraldine Ave. Peterborough, ON.

We kicked off the season by providing entertainment at the Whitby Terry Fox Run for the 3rd straight year, and have hosted Don McGeoch in a house concert. We have even more fine Canadian talent lined up! All shows begin at 8 PM and are NON-SMOKING events. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ October 14, 2000 LAURA SMITH www.chatsubo.com/laura/core.html Brooklin Community Centre Tickets: $15 (Members: $12) Spun from moonlit nights and cool, crashing waves, Smith's music is direct and honest. Fiddles and guitars gently lift and carry her spirited vocals, while her melodies and careful poetry dig deep. Laura began to play music at age 19, first teaching herself piano chords, then guitar. With support from CBC, she recorded her first, self-titled album in 1989. She now has 4 CDs to her credit. In 1995, her song "Shade of Your Love" was the most played AC song in Canada. In 1996, she won two East Coast Music Awards (Female Artist, Album of the Year) and two Juno nominations (for Best New Solo Artist and Best Roots and Traditional Album). In 1997, she won a Gemini Award for Best Performance in a Performing Arts Program or Series. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ November 18, 2000 NANCY WHITE http://rlhess.home.mindspring.com/music/nw__000.htm Brooklin Community Centre Tickets: $15 (Members: $12) Nancy White is the queen of the topical song and the zip-lock bag. She's an ACTRA award-winning singer-songwriter who does concerts all over Canada, and is best known for her fifteen years doing songs about the news on CBC Radio's Sunday Morning. Among her most popular albums are Momnipotent: Songs for Weary Parents, Pumping Irony, and Homely for the Holidays. Her latest album, Gaelic Envy and Other Torch Songs, has received excellent reviews in Canada and the US. Nancy was born in Prince Edward Island (before The Link), went to Dalhousie, studied Spanish in Guatemala, lives in Toronto with her two daughters and he r cat, Jack. She does not bake her own bread, tends to vote NDP - however hopeless that may seem in Ontario - and plays guitar, banjo, and piano. She claims her house is a shambles, her garden a disaster, that she hates long walks and candlelight dinners, BUT we know she sings on key and gets to the real story! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ December 9, 2000 Aengus Finnan www.sheltervalley.com House Concert and Christmas meal Tickets: $14 (Members: $12) Please bring a non-perishable food item for donation to a local food bank. Born to a performing family in Dublin, Ireland, Aengus has been immersed in story, song, and theatre all his life. Since his family emigrated in the 70's he has explored Canada as a student of Visual Arts in Victoria, an actor in Montreal, a research diver in Alberta, and as a school teacher in Moosonee. He left the north and moved to southern Ontario to make his debut on the folk club & festival circuit, to overwhelming response! His music reveals poignant observations of common life, the subtle world of an intense dreamer, passionate interest in history and heritage, and a love for traditional folk music. Aengus' songs have been recognized with several awards including a win at the 1999 "Songs from the Heart" competition (sponsored by the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals), a scholarship in the Vancouver based "Write On" competition, and an Ontario Arts Council recording grant. His songs have earned him showcases at summer festivals, garnered him spotlights on College and Public radio folk shows, and gained industry praise in both Canada and the US. Welcome back to the Spark! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Upcoming shows 2001: January 20: Cate Friesen February: Burns Night March 10: JAMES KEELAGHAN April: Fear of Drinking May: Season finale/Farewell to the Watts Note: one or two of these 2001 shows may be in a "dry" venue.

Oct. 18th Place: the new NOW Lounge, 189 Church St. at Shuter Time: 8:30pm Admission: $6 Info: 416-264-2235 ________________________________________________________ Come on and check out this new venue! It's the Lounge at the NOW magazine's offices - a cozy ambience in a brand new room with good food, beverage, music and a state of the art sound system. Debbie Adshade on guitar and vocals and Judy Kamminga on celtic harp and vocals round out this intriguing and unique pair from New Brunswick. "Elemental Grace" is the name of their debut album as a duo (they have solo records as well). As they say: "Since the beginning of time we have existed in the grace of the elements....earth, water, wind and fire. All creatures endure and celebrate the beauty and power of these elements....always thankful for the generous gift of Life." This life and these elements are manifested in their lovely music with breathtaking harmonies. *If you cannot make this date, you have an opportunity to hear these wonderful women at the Flying Cloud Folk Club this Sun. Oct. 15th at 8pm. They are well worth hearing so try to get out to one of these dates if possible.* Regards, Lillian Testimonials: From Jean Hewson, Nfld.: "...if you listen to Madrigal's CD and you enjoy it, I can tell you that they sound every bit as good live as they do on their recording. Their songwriting is excellent, their voices are incredible....I saw their showcase at the ECMA and I really felt that it was the musical highlight of the entire weekend. ........I wouldn't write this letter if I really didn't truly think that these two women weren't remarkable performers....I'm sure that many of you on "da mainland" would agree with me if you had the chance to see them in concert." From Susan Buffer, Miramichi Folksong Festival: "Madrigal wove some moonlight magic at the open air Multicultural evening.....sent chills up the spines of the 1200 who attended...." From Dean Verger, Rasputin's-Ottawa: "Lithe grace met dramatic power as two fine songwriters showed diverse yet complimentary approaches to entertaining and moving their audiences. We fell in love again." ----------------------------------------------------------- Lillian A.

He is willing to perform the house concert even for a tank of gas as he has already made arrangements to be in the area, but I would love to have more than that in attendance. If you don't already have plans for Friday evening please consider coming. You won't regret it. _________________________________________________________ Come on people! What better way to hear one of the finest singer-songwriters this country has to offer, than in the warm, intimate setting of a house concert?! For those in the Sarnia area, all I can say is please reserve your seat now. You will NOT regret it. Then sit back and listen to some exquisite guitar, a fine voice and great songs!

All creatures endure and celebrate the beauty and power of these elements....always thankful for the generous gift of life." "Elemental Grace" is the name of their debut album as a duo and that duo is MADRIGAL from Saint John, NB - Debbie Adshade on voice and acoustic guitar and Judy Kamminga on voice and celtic harp. They will enchant you and for one moment in time you will be transported, mesmerized and held spellbound by the beauty of their unique & original music. Dean Verger of Rasputin's in Ottawa says: "Lithe grace met dramatic power as two fine song-writers showed diverse yet complimentary approaches to entertaining and moving their audiences. We fell in love again." And from Susan Buffer of the Miramichi Folksong Festival: "Madrigal wove some moonlight magic at the open air Multicultural evening....sent chills up the spines of the 1200 who attended..." As usual the concerts will be held in the intimate atmosphere of the Main Hall at the TRANZAC, which will be non-smoking. Smokers are welcome to use the Southern Cross Lounge.

Norm Hacking's Tuesday open stages and Saturday Norm's Living Room series, both at the Tranzac in Toronto (292 Brunswick Avenue, just south of Bloor) have picked up steam since resuming in early September. I'll put the general description of these evenings below and go right to the part about the feature guests (who are shown appreciation with contributions in a basket passed around at these "no cover" evenings): TOMORROW Oct 14: Mary Kelly, who has a gorgeous clear expressive voice with Celtic and other reportoire (she's also opening for Flying Cloud feature Madrigal in the Tranzac's main room the next evening). OAKVILLE date: Sunday Oct 15: Norm Hacking and Mikel Miller (see Oct 17 below) with Rick Fines are at the White Oak Folk Club in _OAKVILLE_ at 7 pm, cover is $12. This one is NOT at Tranzac - Oakville Rod and Gun Club, 36 Upper Middle East, just west of Trafalgar Road (see posting of Jeremiah Budnark on Oct 10 or website http://www.pathcom.com/~jeremiah/WhiteOakFolk.htm for general information and map, or email pcyoung@idirect.com Tues Oct 17 open stage: Mikel Miller, Whitehorse Yukon songwriter, whose latest CD "Rounders' Road" (1999) includes several songs written by/with Norm as well as his own songs. See http://www.mikelmiller.yukon.net and http://www.maplefolk.com/cddir/entries/millroun.html for his own home page and a description of the songs on the CD, respectively. Sat Oct 21: Ron Nigrini, who has been writing and performing excellent songs for over 30 years. His latest CD is "Above the Noise" (1999). Check http://www.ronnigrini.com for some funny music career stories and other info. Tues Oct 24 open stage: Susie Love, a young songwriter whose musical thoughts and personality brighten the evening. Sat Oct 28: Dyan Maracle has a lovely voice heard on Norm's recordings and her 1999 CD "Closer to Right" showcases her own terrific writing. Tues Oct 31 open stage: Kirk Elliott and his instruments of torture - multi-instrumentalist with lovely music is appropriate for a Tranzacian Halloween (watch out for the pipes!) --> Come in Halloween costume, prizes will be awarded! Looking further ahead: Nov 4: Steve Paul Simms Nov 7: Laura Thomas Nov 11: Chris Whiteley and Jenny Whiteley Nov 14: Peter Solmes Nov 18: Christian Tobin and Ky Koschmider Nov 21: Paul Brouse Nov 25: LLOYD LANDA MEMORIAL TRIBUTE Nov 28: Glen Hornblast Dec 2: Jim Layeux Dec 5: Brian Rudy Dec 9: Jory Nash Dec 12: Jim Bearden Dec 16: Noah Zacharin Dec 19: Michael Laderoute Dec 23: CHRISTMAS PARTY Every Tuesday is an open stage, with Norm starting off the evening with a brief set and a feature performer with a longer set mid-evening. Sign up early (starting 8pm) or risk performing late - this is a popular and talent-laden open stage. Bring CDs for "the music store" if you perform. We've have some terrific regulars coming in from the neighborhood and from out of town, eg. Lenore from Oshawa. Of course, you don't have to be performing to take some great music - audience welcomed. "Norm's Living Room" on Saturday showcases more of Norm's earlier and new songs and he invites musical friends to perform a few songs. The spotlighted performer has a longer set, and everyone shares a lovely last set. Hint: Many of the feature performers drop by regularly. See you at the Tranzac!

A good resourse for this on the web is Musi-Cal http://www.musi-cal.com/ It's a database of upcoming performances all over the world but you can do a search by location, and see who is playing where in the upcoming months. You can do a search for B.C. as a whole as well as searches for Vancouver and Victoria and many other locations in the province. The folk community is very strongly represented on this site. Many of the venues have contact information or websites listed and many can be looked up in the venues database. It's well worth dipping into for a look. Another resourse is the Canada Council "red book" - the Jazz, Folk, World and New Music Presenters Directory. If you go to the Canada Council website http://www.canadacouncil.ca you can get information on this in their publications section...it may even be online by now. cheers, Vic - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From nxnw@vancouver.cbc.ca Sat Oct 14 07:28:13 2000 Date: Sat Oct 14 07:28:13 2000 From: North By Northwest nxnw@vancouver.cbc.ca Subject: [mplpost] Gigs in British Columbia Hi there. in addition to Vic's suggestions... also worth checking is the (i think the paint's still drying) website for the bc touring council... http://www.bctouring.org/ especially the fine list of folk/world presenters. http://www.bctouring.org/presenters/bcfolk_world.html (blush) this BC organization is leading the way in terms of access and there's great value in their pages.

I know many people are more interested in number of spins than consecutive weeks and some like the totals. These spins are totaled from non-Canadian lists posted to folkdj-l in the past 100 weeks. It's important to remember that some artists did not have a new release in the past 100 weeks and some new artists have just got their CD's out there in the past few weeks. In the past 100 weeks 622 Canadian artists have had 17,289 spins on non-Canadian stations posting to folkdj-l. The most artists played in any one week is 114 and the most Canadian spins for a week is 282. The longest current consecutive week streak belongs to Joni Mitchell who is at 86 and still counting. The most spins by one artist in a week is Stan Rogers with 94. 1 to 19 Spins 48th Highlanders of Canada Abubukar & The Afro Nubians Bryan Adams Susan Aglukark Alien Rebels Alpha Ya Ya Diallo Alter Ego Angstones Paul Anka Jann Arden Arrandale Asza Robert Ateyo Aya Sam Baardman Bachman Turner Overdrive Helene Baillargeon / Alan Mills Long John Baldry/Kathi MacDonald The Band / Eric Clapton The Band / Crickets The Band / Bob Dylan The Band/ Emmylou Harris The Band / John Hiatt Kim Barlow Barra McNeils Barra McNeils / Chieftains Les Batinses Ian Tyson / Mike Beck Marcel Beneteau Benji Willie P.

The host was interviewing a Canadian woman who had just released an album of songs for mothers. He played an acapella cut of the song below.

Suffice to say that by the time Saturday rolled around people were lined up on the street. A special thanks to Geoff Chapman of the Toronto Star who reviewed the band Wednesday night (see review below). After his article appeared in Thursday's edition, the phone started ringing off the hook at the Bistro for reservations. Word spread fast that this was a blues band like no other. The Bistro was rocking! A very special thanks to our fans, our good and loving friends, and the staff (Lesley and Sarah and Svava to name just a few... you were fantastic!) at the Bistro. To Lothar and Brigitte Lang: Thanking you hardly seems enough but it will have to do. The pleasure and experience of playing your club was definitely one for our books. Let's do it again! --- ***The Toronto Star (Geoff Chapman) October 12, 2000*** "Michael Pickett has paid his blues dues, a lengthy career including playing with a pantheon of greats - John Lee Looker, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley and more - and now, finally, recognition from a broad audience as well as his peers. Honours and a pair of recent excellent CDs seem to have fired up passionate Pickett even more, and his performance at last night's opening set in Montreal Bistro was full of contolled fire and boyant, swaggering confidence. The Montreal Bistro? The jazz haven with its excellent sound rarely hosts blues acts: regulars were sifting long memories in vain to recall a full blues week at the club. But Pickett, using Bill McCauley on organ to add heft and the grit-and-grease sound that emerges from combining harmonica, guitar and Hammond B3, craftily underscored links to jazz while he tore through broad blues stylings. His lived-in voice with its lining of sandpaper fits most contexts, as does his emotionally charged harp work, skills that he emphasizes by employing his own smart lyrics well worth a hard listen. The band is seasoned, with guitarist Shawn Kellerman, bass Steve Chadwick and drummer Gary Craig, so a solid well-paced performance is a given. But they have a pleasing urgency about them, working up a smoulderfest that delivered a potent mixture of drama and pyrotechnics. The opening heady brew showed off snap-crackle dynamics, and then Pickett launched into his patented eclectic material like "The Killing Floor" over a Taj Mahal model shuffle with surging undercurrents from bass and drums and strident guitar, all chunky funky grooves over which his harp soared and subsided. The sardonic lyrics of "World Gone Crazy" with wry organ commentary showed how Pickett's eclectic approach makes the harp an extra voice in the clattering proceedings, wailing and crying over the wide, loose backbeat and razor-sharp licks, while "Every Step I Take" ["Walking"] was redolent with droll humour and a plethora of local references and caustic observation. "Conversation With The Blues" was a relatively langorous piece of updated Delta storytelling while "My Mind's Made Up" was full of rolling incantatory phrasing." --- lp -- mailto:mail@michaelpickett.com Mother Earth Management Michael Pickett, Artist http://www.michaelpickett.com Wooden Teeth Records Festival Distribution Inc. http://www.festival.bc.ca - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From lillianw@interlog.com Mon Oct 16 14:58:07 2000 Date: Mon Oct 16 14:58:07 2000 From: lillianw@interlog.com lillianw@interlog.com Subject: [mplpost] Re: GIG-ON: Madrigal Hi Folks, If you weren't able to catch Madrigal from New Brunswick (and that's NOT MadriGALs) at the Flying Cloud in Toronto last night, you can hear them on Wed. Oct. 18th at the NOW Lounge, 189 Church St., Toronto, 9pm, $6 Lillian _________________________________________ Come on and check out this new venue! It's the Lounge at the NOW magazine's offices - a cozy ambience in a brand new room with good food, beverage, music and a state of the art sound system. Debbie Adshade on guitar and vocals and Judy Kamminga on celtic harp and vocals round out this intriguing and unique pair from New Brunswick. "Elemental Grace" is the name of their debut album as a duo (they have solo records as well). As they say: "Since the beginning of time we have existed in the grace of the elements....earth, water, wind and fire. All creatures endure and celebrate the beauty and power of these elements....always thankful for the generous gift of Life." This life and these elements are manifested in their lovely music with breathtaking harmonies. Testimonials: From Jean Hewson, Nfld.: "...if you listen to Madrigal's CD and you enjoy it, I can tell you that they sound every bit as good live as they do on their recording. Their songwriting is excellent, their voices are incredible....I saw their showcase at the ECMA and I really felt that it was the musical highlight of the entire weekend. ........I wouldn't write this letter if I really didn't truly think that these two women weren't remarkable performers....I'm sure that many of you on "da mainland" would agree with me if you had the chance to see them in concert." From Susan Buffer, Miramichi Folksong Festival: "Madrigal wove some moonlight magic at the open air Multicultural evening.....sent chills up the spines of the 1200 who attended...." From Dean Verger, Rasputin's-Ottawa: "Lithe grace met dramatic power as two fine songwriters showed diverse yet complimentary approaches to entertaining and moving their audiences.

Ballet J�rgen is� � �a rare and exhilarating find.� The New York Times � Canada�s choreographic ballet company, with a mission to find and develop new choreographers. � a favourite at the Centre for the Arts, having performed both mixed programs and the full-length ballets The Nutcracker and Romeo and Juliet on our stage. � returning to the Centre for the Arts, with world-renowned dancer Evelyn Hart on Saturday, November 11 at 8 PM in the Playhouse Theatre. St. Catharines, Ontario, October 16, 2000 . . . Bengt J�rgen, heralded as �A Renaissance Man� and a creator with a vision for the future of classical dance, founded Ballet J�rgen in 1987 at the youthful age of 24. A graduate of the Royal Swedish Ballet School and the National Ballet School of Canada, J�rgen started his company after three years as a soloist with The National Ballet of Canada � risky move for a young dancer intent on performing only original material. Now in its 13th season, the company is directed by the dynamic artistic team of Bengt J�rgen and Arnold Spohr, Artistic Director Emeritus of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and a renowned creative force in Canadian dance. Bengt J�rgen has built an innovative choreographic company which presents original works in Toronto and on tour, and provides training for choreographers and dancers. J�rgen says �� I have always been committed to classical forms of ballet since the beginning. My company is contemporary in the works we perform but classical in style. To me that�s important. Working within the structure of classical styles allows for quite a bit of innovation.� ��The Company�s mission is creating new ballets, and freshness, authority, and intelligence � are hallmarks of its work.� The New York Times Award-winning ballerina Evelyn Hart is an internationally renowned dancer and one of Canada�s most treasured artists. In 1980, Evelyn came to international attention when she became the first Canadian to be awarded a Gold Medal at the International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria, as well as the rarely awarded Certificate of Exceptional Artistic Achievement. Since her achievements at Varna, Evelyn has received numerous other awards and honours, including Companion to the Order of Canada, Manitoba�s Woman of the Year in 1987, and honourary doctorates from the University of Manitoba and McMaster University. Most recently, on May 15, 2000, Ms. Hart won the Jean A. Chalmers National Dance Award of $25,000 for artistic excellence. Evelyn has been hailed for her interpretation of many of the classic ballerina roles, especially in Giselle, Romeo and Juliet, Swan Lake, and Onegin. In addition to her classical repertoire, Evelyn has received world-wide acclaim for her performances of contemporary ballets. With the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Evelyn has toured throughout North America, Europe and Asia. As a guest artist, she has appeared with numerous leading ballet companies on stages throughout the world. �Purest, noblest art. It was a privilege to watch her.� The Financial Times Don�t miss the opportunity to see two of the brightest stars in the firmament of ballet � Ballet J�rgen and Evelyn Hart.

Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. ------_=_NextPart_000_01C0387F.C693C930 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Dear Roots music fans: I wanted to share some comments I sent to CJRT and to urge you all to send a similar letter. Since they have already made the decision to cancel our favourite shows, I don't think it will do much good simply to withdraw funding: they will be expecting that, and have likely taken it into account. However, if they receive hundreds of calls/letters/emails from individuals and groups promising to sponsor the folk, blues and worldbeat shows, it might get CJRT's attention. I addressed my letter directly to Chuck Camroux, and received a personal reply from him claiming that these shows have never generated enough sponsorship to cover costs, and needed to be subsidised by other programming. I don't know if this is true or not (if so, why did they never let us know?), however it can't hurt to try. Even though CJRT claims to be a non-profit station, they still have bills to pay and the fact is that money talks. So think about how much you would be willing to sponsor in order to bring back Absolutely Folk, Music Without Borders, and The Blues Hour, and let Mr. Camroux know. Also let him know if you have any ideas for fundraising, or if you are willing to donate your time and talents. I have (perhaps naively) suggested a fundraising concert (one big concert or perhaps a different one for each show) that could later be broadcast on the station. I have no doubt that there are lots of performers who would gladly donate their time for such an event, especially if they knew it would be played on-air. I for one would gladly attend such a show. I have a few suggestions that might make this venture more successful: 1. Use a specific dollar amount. I have pledged $10/ month. 2. If possible, pledge a monthly donation: this offers incentive to keep the shows on the air (and of course don't give them any more money until they do put bring back some roots shows). 3. Be polite and diplomatic. We are all furious about these cancellations, but the station has probably received a number of rude and angry messages by now. They will pay more attention if you use a civil tone. Excerpts from my email to Chuck Camroux: "I listened to the last episodes of "Absolutely Folk" and "Music Without Borders" on Saturday. I have been listening to these 2 shows almost every weekend since the first episodes, several years ago. I was shocked and disappointed to hear that you were cancelling them. The roots programming you offered was special, and for the most part is not duplicated on other radio stations." "These programs are very important to the roots music community. They showcase local artists, they promote (for free) upcoming performances that fans might not hear about otherwise, and they offer listeners a chance to hear the best music available by Canadian and international artists. They also play a large amount of Canadian content, helping homegrown performers to reach a wide audience." "I believe that if these shows do not generate adequate funds to pay for their costs, the roots community would be interested in assisting you with raising funds to cover expenses. I am sure that Cate, Kai, and John would be happy to help you get in touch with people who could organize something (perhaps annual fundraising concerts for each show, which could then be broadcast). We are very passionate about our music, and if you give us a chance, we will do whatever it takes to keep these shows on the air." "I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. I will pledge $10 per month on an ongoing basis if you will bring back Absolutely Folk, Music Without Borders, and The Blues Hour. I am also flexible: I realize the former hosts may not be available and that the former timeslots have been filled. I will be happy with any similar programs that cover the same musical ground, and are on at a reasonable time (eg: not 2am on a weeknight). As far as I can tell from the schedule on your website, you currently have no folk, worldbeat, or blues scheduled (other than The Prairie Home Companion, which plays a little bit of American folk). Please bring some back! I am waiting by the phone with my credit card." Please pass this message along to anyone who you might be interested in helping. Yours Truly, Lee-Ann Cowan ------_=_NextPart_000_01C0387F.C693C930 Content-Type: application/ms-tnef Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

It's a very swank, non-smoking, good food kinda place with comfortable furniture and a liquor license. I'll have the acoustic and the electrics out for my mix of folk, country, blues and rock. Cost is $10.00 and includes my new CD! The band, affectionately called "The Plaster Cowboys" is made up of: Lewis Melville (pedal steel, banjo, mandolin, guitar) Craig Norris (keys, vocals) Michael Ostler (bass,vocals) Dominic DiNinno (drums) The evening will go something like this. First we'll perform the album in order front to back. Then after a break I'll play some material solo and the band will rejoin me for a rave-up of old and familiar tunes. Sounds like a good time and remember there will never be another show the same. Show Starts at 9:30 but come early for dinner and drinks. Dinner reservations can be made by phoning (519)570-3800. email me if you want to reserve tickets.

The Vancouver Committee for FA 2001has been meeting for over three years to try and make this a magic conference. Here�s the latest news �. St. Valentine�s Gala Concert We�re starting things off in true coastal style with a World Ceilidh at the Commodore Ballroom on Wednesday, February 14th. Join us for a dance and then some! Once a big band dance hall on Granville Street (Vancouver�s main drag), the Commodore is one of the finest music venues in North America with fabulous sight lines and great acoustics. With a capacity of almost 1,000 people, you can get up close and personal with the bands, dance till you drop on the famous spring-loaded dance floor and state of the art sound system or hang back on �schmooze alley� and hook up with your friends and business associates. No need to choose between the tunes and the schmooze at this one- you can do it all at the Commodore while enjoying one of the city's "essential" places. We�re in the final stages of putting the line-up of great bands from different traditions for what promises to be a great night out and an electric kick-off for the conference. Stay tuned! A Really Big Night on the Drive Whenever you go to a new city, you always want to know �where is that special part of town- that street where there is a great mix of people, lots of good food and live music?� In Vancouver, it�s Commercial Drive. For more than twenty years, it�s been the most radical political musical street in the city, and Thursday, February 15 we�re going to open more than twenty different venues of live music. In clubs, theatres and restaurants, we�ll be celebrating World Music Week in Vancouver with artists coming to the conference from Sweden, Germany, Australia, the U.S. and all across Canada. There will be provincial �pavilions� from Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and the Yukon. Other venues are going to be themed by musical styles- from the very traditional to swing, from blues to wild women and from Celtic to some of the finest singer songwriters in North America. We�re in the final stages of putting the venues together now, working with artists from official showcases at the conference and drawing on the more than 200 who have applied to be a part of this night. If you are one of those applicants, you'll know very soon. CBC Vancouver and Global Village will be there taping. There will be free shuttle buses running from the conference hotel and up and down the Drive all night. We�re working on special dinner packages and more with the Commercial Drive Business Association and everyone�s hoping that this will be the legacy of the conference- the birth of an annual mid-winter roots music event! Other events We�re also working with sponsors, schools and music associations to create other performance opportunities in town, including in-store performances at the Virgin Megastore, a special concert at the Carnegie Centre (the community centre at the heart of the poorest postal code in Canada- Vancouver�s downtown Eastside), and school shows. Many of the folks who are already coming are planning to stay a few extra days. There�s lots of reasons to- world-famous skiing up the road at Whistler (or just up Grouse Mountain here in town- you can see the hotel from there!), the best sushi in the country, amazing West Coast First Nations displays at the Museum of Anthropology and lots more. For further inducements, check www.tourism-vancouver.org/ We�ll be posting updates over the next few months at www.auraltrad.com/fa2001 as details get confirmed and the conference draws closer. It shaping up to be a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of some of the finest music from across Canada and beyond. There are even folks organizing a train ride across the country for the conference. If you�re coming �from away� you might want to check out (nice pictures and all) http://149.96.1.11/ for more information on an unforgettable way to make your way to Vancouver, with a bunch of folk friends you haven�t even met yet. So that�s the news, with four months to go� and all this doesn�t even include the Conference itself! Four days of music, panels, workshops and more- you can get more information about the conference and registration at the web site for the North American Folk Music and Dance Alliance: http://www.folk.org/ This will be the most accessible and affordable conference for Canadians for some time to come- ie- Canadian dollars at par- so if you�ve been thinking about this annual gathering of who�s who in roots music, this is the one. Our thanks to the Department of Canadian Heritage, BC 2000, City of Vancouver, Edmonton Folk Music Festival, CBC Radio One, the Georgia Straight, Virgin MegaStore, Telus, Cellular One the Vancouver East Cultural Centre and for their support of the Vancouver Committee's Activities.

I hope that those of you attending the conference can drop by. I am looking forward to seeing familiar faces, and attending the showcases :) 'Dealing with Stage Fright' is a workshop on how to recognize, manage, and minimize presentation nerves, performance anxieties and stage fright. This mini-workshop is appropriate for: music teachers who have students who practice well at home but make mistakes in front of their teacher, or worse yet, break into tears at a recital. producers who have artists who book time with a studio and get the shakes. the band leader who has members that need that extra drink before getting on stage. anyone who gets nervous about performing in stressful situations. Topics include: � Understanding stage fright � Performance preparation � Contingency planning � Breathing and relaxation � Reducing existing fears The workshop is given by Dean Verger who has run Rasputin's Folk Cafe for more than two decades. With 20 years of experience in the music business Dean studied behavioural psychology at the University of Guelph. His background also includes acting in semi-professional theatre, storytelling at venues across Canada, and performing original stories on CBC. Hugs don't cure everything, but they sure feel like they do :) Dean Verger Rasputin's Folk Cafe 696 Bronson Ave. K1S 4G2 230-5102 http://www.cyberus.ca/~rasputin - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From folkie@interlog.com Fri Oct 20 17:51:34 2000 Date: Fri Oct 20 17:51:34 2000 From: Shirley Gibson folkie@interlog.com Subject: [mplpost] GIG:ON: Norm Hacking: Ron Nigrini, Open Stage Anniversary! NEWS! If you're in the Toronto area on TUESDAY 24th, come CELEBRATE the first anniversary of Norm Hacking's open stage at the Tranzac Club (292 Brunswick Ave, just west of Spadina station on the subway). As always, no cover (we pass the basket for the feature artist). Bring recordings if you perform. We have the sound system, people who know how to run it and a keyboard. RON NIGRINI is the special guest at TOMORROW's Norm's Living Room at the same venue (the Star and Eye seem to have misinterpreted the list they have). Norm Hacking will open and invite musical friends to perform, and all perform together for the last set. Below are details of those events and the following (along with reminders of upcoming guests): - Halloween (you know the date) - Th Nov 16 Norm, Marianne Girard and Michael Laderoute return to ORANGEVILLE - Sat Nov 25 Lloyd Landa memorial tribute - Sat Dec 23 seasonal/Christmas party Details: Norm Hacking's Living Room at the Tranzac (292 Brunswick Avenue near Bloor, Toronto) TOMORROW (Oct 21) features special guest RON NIGRINI, a wonderful songwriter and musical friend of Norm's since college days, in fact inspiring Norm to become a songwriter. Check http://www.ronnigrini.com for info and some funny experiences of Ron's life in the music "biz". Note that the Star and Eye erred in listing Paul Brouse as the feature guest - his feature is TUES NOV 21 - he does often drop by with his amazing fingerpicking lyrical guitar playing and if we're lucky we'll have both, as well as some of Norm's other musical friends. CELEBRATION TIME! Norm's open mic at the Tranzac turns one year old next week! It started Tuesday Oct 26, 1999 with feature guest Laura Thomas (who will be the feature Nov 7 when she returns from the US). So, let's get a big crowd together TUES OCT 24. Norm hasn't mentioned that it's an anniversary, so the celebration will be a SURPRISE. Tranzac staff are cooking up something (probably literally!) to make it special! For folkie trivia buffs: Norm's first open stage in Toronto was at the Silver Dollar over 10 years ago! The feature Tuesday is SUSIE LOVE, who has just returned from sunny L.A. and gone into the studio - she has had a 4 song demo available before. Susie is a young thoughtful songwriter who brightens the stage even when some of her songs are sad - regulars remember her rollerblading in to present Norm flowers on his birthday as she went on stage. SAT OCT 28, DYAN MARACLE is the feature at Norm's Living Room. This is very special as Dyan was in Norm's band and on his recordings. She's also a terrific songwriter who had a very enthusiastic crowd when she featured in March. Her second CD is "Closer to Right". TUES OCT 31 - PARTY TIME AGAIN. COME IN HALLOWEEN COSTUME and celebrate with KIRK ELLIOTT AND HIS INSTRUMENTS OF TORTURE! Maybe this has something to do with the pipes, one of the vanload of instruments Kirk plays at gigs. He has a number of lovely CDs and plays magic violin, celtic harp and wooden flute on Norm's last CD. Join us at the Tranzac after you shell out to the wee grimlins at home! Prizes for costumes have been mentioned. NOV 4 Sat - Steve Paul Simms NOV 7 Tues - Laura Thomas NOV 11 Sat - Chris Whiteley and Jenny Whiteley - first musical appearance together! NOV 14 Tues - Peter Solmes NOV 16 TH IN ORANGEVILLE - Norm, Marianne Girard and Michael Laderoute at the Old Train Station Pub, 35 Armstrong St, just off the main highway in downtown Orangeville. Info at "Acoustic Traditions" or call (519) 942-6258. NOV 18 Sat - Christian Tobin and Ky Koschmider NOV 21 Tues - Paul Brouse Nov 25 - LLOYD LANDA MUSICAL TRIBUTE. We were all shocked to learn that Lloyd died the evening after adding to the joyous Aug 1st celebration of Norm's 50th birthday. Lloyd was an immensely talented keyboardist, guitarist and songwriter who added joy to many of Norm's evenings at the Tranzac either solo or with his partner Karen Linsley (songwriter/co-writer with the lovely flowing voice). They were widely known in FILK (science fiction folk music) circles and were part of the musical community forming at Norm's evenings. Lloyd was also a long-time friend of Norm's and freely gave encourage/advice to many of us. Karen and Lloyd's song "Pioneers of Mars" won the Mars Society international anthem contest. Karen will join us for this special evening of tribute. If you haven't already, let Norm (or me) know if you'd like to perform as part of the tribute evening. NOV 28 Tues - Glen Hornblast DEC 2 Sat - Jim Layeux DEC 5 Tues - Brian Rudy and Larry Nusbaum (now a double feature evening!) DEC 9 Sat - Jory Nash (he just won OCFF Songs from the Heart contest!) DEC 12 Tues - Jim Beardon DEC 16 Sat - Noah Zacharin DEC 19 Tues - Michael Laderoute DEC 23 Sat - Christmas/seasonal PARTY! DEC 26 Tues - (stay tuned to see if we're there on Boxing Day) DEC 30 Sat - Ruth Jenkins Jan 6, 2001 - Jason Fowler Jan 20 Sat - Ian North Note, many of the special guests also show up to perform on other evenings. See you at the Tranzac - or say "hello" at OCFF (Ontario Council of Folk Festivals) conference next weekend in Barrie.

Her pivotal role in the artistic and structural development of the Mariposa Folk Festival is but one component of a comprehensive and far reaching career. Estelle is an educator, a writer, a traveler, and an advocate for the cultural riches of Canada's people and their arts. The Ontario Council of Folk Festivals could have selected none other than Estelle Klein to receive the First Annual Lifetime Achievement Award at the upcoming 14th Annual OCFF Conference to be held in Barrie, Ontario from October 27 through 29 for the folk and roots music community. For more details and a registration form, visit www.icomm.ca/ocff or call 519 422 3696. From its inception, Estelle Klein played a major role in the development of the Mariposa Folk Foundation and its annual festival. She was active on the Foundation Board and deeply involved in administration, participating in every committee to establish the festival structure. As Artistic Director, she planned and directed approximately 250 hours of large and small scale concerts and workshops each year. Her development of workshops remains a model for most Canadian Festivals. Estelle displayed a remarkable ability to engage hundreds of performers, countless dedicated volunteers, and a growing audience base to produce an historic event that would leave a lasting impression on Canada's cultural landscape. To this day, Estelle Klein continues to draw on her wealth of knowledge and experience, and has applied it to the many projects with which she has been involved. As an advisor to Toronto's Harbourfront Centre during the WOMAD (World of Music and Dance) years, she contributed to the multicultural character of programming, by encouraging new forms of community outreach, and working towards determining the needs of the city's diverse and culturally hungry residents. The Ontario Science Centre has also enjoyed the benefits of Estelle's regular consultations, from the cross cultural representation of Aboriginal and Francophone craftspeople in major international exhibitions, to the enormously successful Halloween programmes which drew an average of 8,000 people to the safe, entertaining, and educational events. With such a diverse and significant career in her hands, Estelle has cemented her position as a leader in the folk community. Plan to attend the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals' 14th Annual Conference so that you may join Estelle Klein as she receives the First Annual Lifetime Achievement Award on Friday October 27, followed by an intimate and exclusive interview on Saturday October 28. ~~~~~~ media contact: jesse kumagai / deepbluefunk@hotmail.com / 416 827 8400 ocff contact: ocff@icomm.ca / 519 422 3696 holiday inn contact: 705 728 6191 ~~~ - derek andrews - harbourfront centre 416-973-4744 fax 973-8729 mailto:derek@harbourfront.on.ca http://www.harbourfront.on.ca NEW ADDRESS: Harbourfront Centre 235 Queens Quay West Toronto ON Canada M5J 2G8 - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From mmmliet@cam.org Sat Oct 21 08:01:00 2000 Date: Sat Oct 21 08:01:00 2000 From: Liette Gauthier mmmliet@cam.org Subject: [mplpost] ASZA in MONTREAL ASZA will perform tonight at Maison de la culture Ahuntsic, 10300 Lajeunesse 'Montreal.

They are often lucrative and certainly better than a night in a motel watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire. However, by their very nature they are often hard to find. Its hard to find that list of presenters that will fill in the off nights. After conversations with John McLachlan at the BC Touring Council, we have decided to work together in building a database of House Concert venues, as well as suggestions for both performers and presenters on how to produce these concerts and what to expect when performing at them. They are found at: http://www.bctouring.org/ We are starting with BC venues but will likely expand it to include other Canadian house concert venues and those on the West Coast of the US. Here at Pioneer Ranch we have hosted 45 such concerts, and we would like to encourage more folks to host them and make sure that touring performers know about them. One concern has been that some presenters may not want their address, phone number, e-mail etc. on the web. Fair enough. What we are suggesting is that you can include all your information or as little as you want. Obviously musicians will need someway to contact you. We suggest e-mail and/or a phone number. In our experience you will not be inundated with phone calls or requests nor will the CD and promo packages pile up at your door. Should you be submitting this information for anyone other than yourself please include your e-mail address. We will confirm all e-mail addresses So, we could use the following info: Name of venue or series (if any): Host's name: Host address (if you wish it listed): Host contact phone #: E-Mail: Seating capacity: Usual attendance: Performers fee or percentage: Do you offer meals and/or a bed? Types of music you host? Other notes about your venue. Send information to me. I will gather it and pass it to John who will figure out a way to get it up on the BC Touring website. Please pass on any ideas as we need a critical mass to make this work. Let's hope this adds another resource for travelling musicians.

Nov. 4th Place: Free Times Cafe, 320 College St. Time: 8:30pm Admission: $10 Non-Smoking Info: 416-264-2235 __________________________________________ Rare Toronto appearance! Come and hear Eve before she heads off to showcase at the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance in the Poconos in Pennsylvannia! Eve Goldberg is an exceptional interpreter of contemporary and traditional folk music. Known for her remarkably clear voice and her solid guitar style, Eve's repertoire spans folk, country, bluegrass, old-time, swing, blues and gospel music. She has a CD entitled "Ever Brightening Day" which has received rave reviews and is in constant rotation on peoples' CD players, so I'm told. Regular listeners to CBC Radio will recognize her instrumental "Watermelon Sorbet" as the opening theme to the popular daily show "Richardson's Roundup". With a string of successful festival and club appearances under her belt, she is carving out a niche for herself in the Canadian folk world, earning the respect and admiration of music lovers, presenters and reviewers alike. Her day job is spent as the Manager of the Borealis Recording Company and she also is one of the organizers of The Woods Music & Dance Camp and one of the founders of The Common Thread Community Chorus of Toronto. ----------------------------------------------------------- Lillian A.

As a re-emerging performing folk songwriter, I have recently completed my new 5-song demo CD with Paul Mills' new production company, The Millstream, available especially for this occasion. In the past, on the east coast and in Toronto, my songs have been commissioned by CBC Radio (Halifax & Toronto), The City of Halifax, The Canadian Bible Society and The Daily Bread Foodbank, and sung by such notables as Margo Carruthers (east coast Gaelic guru), "St.Patricks" & "Brother Act" choirs. This summer my song "Evangeline" was very well received at the Lunenburg Harbour Folk Festival, and my song "Rebecca's Lament" made the this year's Songs of the Heart Contest's short list. Since my children are now sufficiently 'raised', I am returning from a self-imposed break from professional performing, to pick up the ball again. I look forward to seeing you in Barrie, learning all I can and hopefully be able to "talk shop" with you personally.

At the Toronto conference, the membership chose to focus on 3 areas: advocacy, communication and structure. With the latter (virtually) resolved, I believe that a meeting of the Canadian community that would embrace communication, advocacy and professional development is in order. To that end, I propose that Folk Alliance Canada stage an annual conference designed to bring together the Canadian members, modelled on the regional meetings in the U.S. and other cultural conferences. Membership: The Canadian membership in FA has fluctuated in a pattern driven by the staging of the annual (continental) conference. Membership swells in the region that the conference is staged, drops off after a short period and rises when the conference returns to the region. As we once again close in on a membership level of 300, we are seeing an increase in B.C. (66) and Alberta (19) members. The total in the 4 maritime provinces is 15, and in Quebec 27. A proposal to stage an annual conference is tied to a strategy of membership development in Quebec and the East Coast. Ontario remains the largest membership pool at 110. Proposal: Taking into account the planning patterns of festivals and other presenters, a fall conference would work well to prepare for the coming calendar. This is in part a strategy to place a Canadian conference well in advance of the annual "continental" conference. I recommend either October 12-14 or 19-21, pending word on the FARM (midwest) regional meeting. (*the midwest region is slated for the first weekend and therefore, the Oct. 19-21 date works.) A Four Year Plan: In keeping with the notion that we would both meet our immediate objectives, and long term membership development, I recommend a strategy that builds from strength, moves into new territory, builds bridges in Quebec and then continues to build western membership. Specifically, I suggest we use the existing OCFF annual conference as the initial host in Toronto (2001), present in Halifax (2002) in partnership with the Nova Scotia Music Industry Association, move to Montreal (2003) in partnership with Soci�t� pour la promotion de la danse traditionnelle qu�b�coise (SPDTQ) and in 2004 move back to the west and Winnipeg in a partnership with MARIA. I realize this is more of a programme plan, than a strategic plan, but it is based on the strategies already established in the Folk Alliance mission. Unique to this proposal of course is the opportunity to seek funding from Canadian based government and other agencies. I would like the board to consider this proposal as the backbone of a strategy to build a better informed and more representative Folk Alliance Canada. For your consideration, Derek Andrews ~~~ note: the OCFF board has been discussing the prospect of moving the 2001 conference to toronto, in part to stimulate delegate growth. we have used the holiday inn barrie for several years, and have taken the conference from a small gathering to a significant music industry event for our region, over a 14 year history. this year registrations will excede 200 for the first time. it will be natural to continue to grow the OCFF conference in 2001, whether the idea of staging a national meeting takes hold or not. for the ontario readers, i am not proposing the toronto location as a permanent idea, but do see it as a means to wake up the sleeping giant of folks working in this field within the 905/416 zone. i am heartened to know that sam baijal of hillside is interested in looking at guelph's river run facility as a potential site in the future. if this is the appoach that the OCFF takes, i would advocate that we move to other major cities in ontario, such as kingston, hamilton, london and ottawa over a period of years. the "folk meet" handle is a name that i suggest the FAcanada adopt, to ensure that is not confused with other regional canadian meetings, folk or otherwise. g'night, derek. ps. print and fax to those who are not online. -derek andrews ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ toronto blues society - http://www.torontobluessociety.com ontario council of folk festivals - http://icomm.ca/ocff folk alliance - http://www.folk.org harbourfront centre - http://www.harbourfront.on.ca workday email: derek@harbourfront.on.ca ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW HARBOURFRONT CENTRE MAILING ADDRESS: 235 Queens Quay West Toronto ON Canada M5J 2G8 - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From mail@michaelpickett.com Fri Oct 27 01:51:59 2000 Date: Fri Oct 27 01:51:59 2000 From: Louise Pickett mail@michaelpickett.com Subject: [mplpost] Michael Pickett News The band is still buzzing from the incredible Montreal Bistro gig a couple of weeks ago.

I think there are two discussions that need to happen here, one regarding FACanada, and one regarding the OCFF. I think the FACanada plan is a good one that would build membership in different parts of Canada. It would hopefully also help establish solid relationships between FACanada and regional music organizations in different parts of the country, which I think is an important secondary goal. But I have some questions related to OCFF that probably need to be sorted out: 1) What would happen to OCFF next year, when the FACanada conference would be in Toronto, possibly on the same weekend as OCFF has traditionally run (or the weekend before)? Would people be able (financially, timewise, etc.) to attend both the FACanada conference and the OCFF? Would the two conferences get collapsed next year? What would that mean for the business that usually gets done at OCFF? 2) Derek mentions that the board of OCFF is considering the idea of moving the OCFF to different cities around Ontario. I think it's important for people to know how we ended up with the conference in Barrie. My understanding (and perhaps someone can correct me if I'm wrong) was that over the years there has been a concerted effort to make sure the conference is in a location where folks from Northern Ontario can get to the conference easily. I remember going to conferences up in Bark Lake, which was quite a trek for some of us (but in the back yard for some people!), and Geneva Park in Orillia. I think Orillia and Barrie were a bit of a compromise - easy to get to from the north (even if it is a long drive), easy to get to from the south (and how was it for folks from Ottawa, Peterborough, etc?) Is the board considering that aspect of the location of the conference? It would be a shame to start losing the excellent representation we've had from some of the Northern festivals, clubs, performers, etc. because the conference gets located someplace that's hard for folks to get to. I'm sure this discussion will continue at the OCFF conference this weekend. Hope to see some of you there.

The Nields sisters - Neriss and Katryna - close out the Acoustic Routes series I've been organizing at Ted's Wrecking Yard (549 College St) on Sunday evenings. It's a no-smoking show, it starts at 7.30 sharp (doors at 7), and various members of Heartbreak Hill be open - the first time we've had a real "band". And there'll be a nice surprise - two smashing singers from Whitehorse (who sez people in Toronto don't give visitors a warm welcome?)... Tickets in advance at $13.25 (damn the GST) by calling 416 351-1323 and leaving a message on the machine (I'm in Barrie, remember). And a special offer to anyone who's attending the OCFF event: $12.00 inc. GST from me at the event.... Doing this series has been a fascinating, exhausting effort, full of problems and utterly loaded with great music. Special thanks to Laura Smith, Susan Werner, The Paperboys, Nancy White, Vance Gilbert, Arlene Bishop, Marie Lynn Hammond, Ron Hynes...the music has been everything it should always be: entertaining, thoughtful, funny, wise. And I've made great friendships, with artists and with audiences, and I'm very fortunate indeed.

A member of the Galliards with whom he made numerous radio and TV broadcasts and concert appearances, he started writing songs seriously (and humorously) in the early 1960's and hasn't stopped yet. His early songs were topical-satirical (some of them were featured on TV's satire show That Was The Week That Was) but he broadened out from there, absorbing different influences, from Music Hall to French Realist Song, and experimenting with different song forms. His song The World Turned Upside Down has been recorded and popularised by, amongst others, Dick Gaughan and Billy Bragg (who took it into the pop charts in 1985) and has been sung on numerous demonstrations in Britain and the USA. His Ballad of a Spycatcher, ridiculing the ban on Peter Wright's book, went into the Indie Singles charts in 1987 in a version backed by Billy Bragg and the Oyster Band. This will be a thought-provoking yet enjoyable and humourous evening. Once again another night not to be missed. As usual the concerts will be held in the intimate atmosphere of the Main Hall at the TRANZAC, which will be non-smoking. Smokers are welcome to use the Southern Cross Lounge.

Would people be able (financially, timewise, etc.) >to attend both the FACanada conference and the OCFF? Would the two >conferences get collapsed next year? What would that mean for the business >that usually gets done at OCFF? > my proposal collapses the ocff and FAcanada conference. OCFF is the host / producer of the first conference. there is only one. the OCFF conference activities would absorb / expand the national agenda. the next year is more complicated. i would recommend that the ontario community (OCFF) continue to meet and produce a regional conference in 2002. people from ontario would be encouraged to go to halifax, montreal, etc. but the hope is that local / regional interest would swell the delegate pools in quebec and the east coast. >2) Derek mentions that the board of OCFF is considering the idea of moving >the OCFF to different cities around Ontario. I think it's important for >people to know how we ended up with the conference in Barrie. My >understanding (and perhaps someone can correct me if I'm wrong) was that >over the years there has been a concerted effort to make sure the >conference is in a location where folks from Northern Ontario can get to >the conference easily. I remember going to conferences up in Bark Lake, >which was quite a trek for some of us (but in the back yard for some >people!), and Geneva Park in Orillia. I think Orillia and Barrie were a bit >of a compromise - easy to get to from the north (even if it is a long >drive), easy to get to from the south (and how was it for folks from >Ottawa, Peterborough, etc?) > yes this true to an extent, although i have not attended every conference from the start. the context of meeting in algonquin park was specific to the times. geneva park is a conference centre in orillia and took the process up a notch. the sundial hotel in orillia took us both up and down, as many people found the hotel wonky. others loved it. this wknd in barrie the banquet room will be very challenged to accommodate us, and the hotel is likely to be sold out on saturday night. >Is the board considering that aspect of the location of the conference? It >would be a shame to start losing the excellent representation we've had >>from some of the Northern festivals, clubs, performers, etc. because the >conference gets located someplace that's hard for folks to get to. i also believe the excellent representation from all parts of the province is important. we have folks from trout forest come a long way to join the ocff community last year (they are from north of thunder bay, i think), but sudbury is having a hard time sending representatives regardless of where we hold our conference. i'll spare you the "my ontario includes toronto" rant, but as we look at the potential for a good meeting (this is for ontario folks) we should know that the registration from toronto currently is around 15%. that is no where near the population ratio of the province, not to mention that the 4th largest city in the country is poorly represented also. a national conference of folk people in toronto ("folk meet") would encourage participants from across the country, across the province and toronto to *galvanize* and take the opportunity show our strength in numbers that will make waves with govt and media... to be continued. gotta get on the 400. for folks who've been spared the experience, that's the expressway north out of gotham. -derek andrews ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ toronto blues society - http://www.torontobluessociety.com ontario council of folk festivals - http://icomm.ca/ocff folk alliance - http://www.folk.org harbourfront centre - http://www.harbourfront.on.ca workday email: derek@harbourfront.on.ca ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW HARBOURFRONT CENTRE MAILING ADDRESS: 235 Queens Quay West Toronto ON Canada M5J 2G8 - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From sodhi@ecf.utoronto.ca Fri Oct 27 13:38:04 2000 Date: Fri Oct 27 13:38:04 2000 From: Rana Sodhi sodhi@ecf.utoronto.ca Subject: [mplpost] Benefit Gig: TRANZAC Jazz Blast/Oct.27/Toronto OK, this is not folk, though some will appeal to you out there, I hope - Club Django, San Murata etc. It supports our venue - Toronto's finest folk venue (OK, I'm biased) - the TRANZAC, so I'm copying Ron Davis's post to the lists.

Who: Ottawa�s own Afro-pop band, Cheza with warm-up band, percussion and dance ensemble, Couroung Fayo. Where: Black Sheep Inn, Wakefield, Quebec When: Friday, November 3rd, show starts at 9 Cheza will be bringing the music of their new CD to the shores of the Gatineau River. Following in the footsteps of their self- titled debut CD (1997), Shaker, Cheza�s latest release, mixes the sounds of Africa music with Canadian styles, producing what has been variously described as Afro-pop, �garage-soukous�, and folk-African fusion. By blending the styles of central and southern Africa with rock and folk influences, the musicians of Cheza continue to break new ground in the world music scene. The resulting harvest is a collection of songs with strong choral harmonies and fluid inter-playing guitars, all unified by an irresistible dance beat. From soukous inspired �Tusherekee�, to the reggae-rock of �Open for Business�, to the Tanzanian sounds of �Pilipili� and �Soko Moko�, listeners are sure to find Cheza�s new CD a compelling collaboration. Now in their sixth year of performing together, the members of Cheza joined by their newest member, drummer Phil Bova. Phil comes to Cheza via jazz-funk groove-meisters GAMMAHOOCHEE. Also joining Cheza at the Black Sheep will be Ottawa's own Brian Magner, sax-man extrodinaire. �Get out of your seats!� - Phil Jenkins, Ottawa Citizen For information and interviews contact: Paul Weber 613-237-8963, e-mail: cheza@magma.ca or check out Cheza's web page at www.magma.ca/~cheza/ -30- ------=_NextPart_000_000C_01C0403E.5E32A020 Content-Type: text/html; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

A Sense of Place is a five part series produced by James and Les Siemieniuk. The series explores the themes of home and place. It started with a simple question James Keelaghan asked of performers at the Calgary and Edmonton Folk Festivals, "Why do you live where you live?" Through conversation and music recorded live at various festivals, performers offer their sense of what 'place' means to them and their work. You'll hear from Bill Bourne, Iris DeMent, Tom Russell, Rufus Wainwright, and Joan Baez, to name but a few.
