hamilton Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Sometimes Hamilton's Festival of Friends gets some decent talent, and admission is free. Mind you, it's not a real folk festival like the ones in Winnipeg and Edmonton. Usually the musical acts at Festival of Friends are terribly mediocre, but sometimes they've had some surprisingly killer shows. Plus, you get to see the vast population of white trash that Hamilton has to offer, all of them stomping around Gage Park for three days. Hey, I did say it was free, right?

NewRider Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I remember David Wilcox playing last year... his version of "Bearcat" was so good he played it TWICE!!! Or perhaps he was too wasted to realize he had already played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Festival of Friends is terribly hit or miss.Bruce Cockburn made me cry like a little girl there a few years back.And yes, it sounds terribly snobby to say but the truth is there are some incredibly offensive people slithering around that festival every year. Unbelievable how some people choose to present themselves in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
