Hartamophone 83 Report post Posted June 2, 2015 Pretty great. I would pay the ninety nine bucks for Van Morrison alone if he promised some Last Waltz kicks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northern Wish 63 Report post Posted June 4, 2015 Damn Sam, I wish they were presenting these types of lineups when I was working Production. This fest has come a long long way from the Britannia Beach days (which wasn't that long ago). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bouche 106 Report post Posted June 4, 2015 I'd love to see the south park City Wok guy promote the festival. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freak By Night 37 Report post Posted June 8, 2015 Bouche had me fooled at the Carleton Tavern on Friday night. I had been a long time since I had seen him so we were catching up. Me: "I'm quite impressed with the lineup for City folk festival" Him: "Really? I thought it sucked" (accompanied by a convincing scowl) Me (thinking has it really been that long since I've seen him?) "Why, who would you rather see?" Him: "That DJ Zed who played at the bluesfest" anyway he had me fooled for a minute, I really thought he was serious. Good times bouche! 1 bouche reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bouche 106 Report post Posted September 17, 2015 just noticed this thing about lawn chairs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hartamophone 83 Report post Posted September 17, 2015 I was at the Grand Point North festival in Vermont last weekend and there was a similar arrangement there: lawn chairs had to stay behind a white line, about halfway back from the main stage. It was great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freak By Night 37 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 Love the way lawn chairs are relegated to the back, just like every other festival in the world! I have an extra pair of tickets for Saturday night if anyone's interested. $40 for the two, which is slightly less than what they cost me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phorbesie 90 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 Victory!! Loving CityFolk so far! The Tubes were amazing. I love the new venue. The only issue I have so far is the sound in the Ravenlaw tent is so echoey and terrible. Don't think I'll be spending much time there. 1 bouche reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AD 29 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 That RavenLaw Stage is a huge mis-step for this new site. Terrible sound and ventilation and very small capacity. There were hundreds of people outside waiting to get in last night. If you want to see anything in that building you have to miss what's on the big stage to go stand in a lineup (without beer). They should switch the functions of the Aberdeen and Horticulture buildings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AD 29 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 Oh and Walk Off The Earth should do just that. Avett Bros were fairly good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave-O 31 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 That sounds really promising for Built to Spill on the Ravenlaw stage on Sunday night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AD 29 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 At least there's 45 minutes between Lucinda Williams and Built To Spill. Hopefully enough time to get in. Who knows though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Boy 2.0 199 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 I'm looking for an extra for Sunday if anyone's got one....will likely find something on Kijiji but I thought I'd throw it out there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phorbesie 90 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 agreed AD. also the fact that you have to line up again to get OUT of the building to get scanned out before you go get scanned in to the main site again makes for too much waiting.and the Aberdeen was completely dark inside and you couldn't even make out what the vendors were trying to sell! they need some lighting in there! i bought a chai and the guy making it was opening up his different containers and sniffing them to figure out what ingredients were in them because he couldn't see!

phorbesie 90 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 i would definitely suggest getting on the go-to-Montreal-on-Saturday train if you really want to hear Built to Spill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Wish 63 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 If anyone could comment on the vendor section over the weekend about any improvements / problems you saw I would appreciate it. We are thinking of coming back next year but so far this doesn't sound promising. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bouche 106 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 I really dug the new venue. I found the aberdeen horticulture to be a potential source for disappointment for pass holders. Imagine being locked out of the second stage? ouch. A guy that I knew left the Avett's nearly 1/2 hour before they were done and still didn't get in the aberdeen horticulture until about 10 minutes after Wintersleep started. It's a cool place to see a show, but as mentioned, the sound needs work. Also….it's hot like a goddamn greenhouse in there! I'm looking forward to seeing St.Paul & the Broken Bones tonight, but that enjoyment may be affected by the sound.
