  2. RIP. I remember seeing him here in London. What a treat and a fantastic drummer.
  3. Quarter Cask are 14-16 years old and that means they mature in a smaller cask, which means it is a bit more oak-y and peaty. It's about £45 retail here and it's good whiskey.
  4. I've done a lot of work with both artists in Europe, with more touring scheduled for November. Lovely guys and absolutely deafeningly good live. Eamon is a force and I think, one day, he'll be seen as a Canadian legend.

  8. I support the bill for the most part, albeit it is flawed. It has more protection measures for independent musicians and their copyrights, which is a good thing.

When: WEDNESDAY JUNE 9TH 2010 Where: KOERNER HALL (Royal Conservatory), Toronto. Time: 7PM Price: $35 and $95 Avail: www.rcmusic.ca (scroll down) PERFORMING: JULLY BLACK OHBIJOU DAN MANGAN THE RURAL ALBERTA ADVANTAGE EVENING HYMNS AMANDA MARTINEZ FLORENCE K AION CLARKE - If you can make it and support the charity, that'd be brilliant.
