rubberdinghy Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 We've got another live taping of great music and great talk in Ottawa. On Tuesday, January 29th, we're welcoming Catherine MacLellan (http://www.catherinemaclellan.com/ ) and Bob Wiseman (http://www.bobwiseman.ca/ ) to the Studio 40 stage. P.E.I.'s Catherine MacLellan has a pretty legendary father - Gene MacLellan of "Snowbird" fame - but she's quickly built a name for herself with her gorgeous, classic folk songs. And Toronto's Bob Wiseman got his start in Blue Rodeo, but has since carved out his own career with quirky, genre-defying music. So what will Catherine and Bob do together for Fuse? We have no idea - that's what the surprise of the collaboration is all about. But if you'd like to see it happen live, right before your eyes, come on out to the taping.Catherine and Bob will Fuse on Tuesday, January 29th at 7PM at our Broadcast Centre (181 Queen St). Tickets are free and are given out on a first-come, first-served basis--so submit your ticket request soon! To do so, please do not reply to this email, but rather head on over to the Tickets section of our web site - www.cbc.ca/fuse/tickets.html .Hope to see you there!The Fuse Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phorbesie Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 it was fun. not too memorable except for some great additions from bob on piano, vocals, synth and whistling some funny banter, although too much banter for this show, since the 2 artists didn't seem to have huge chemistry.

Velvet Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 It's always nice to see Bob Wiseman play, but I think he could have had a better Fuse partner. She's a strummer with a pretty voice and wasn't able to add too much to what Bob presented, whereas he added very singular and unique bits to her tunes. It sure coulda been better rehearsed, but I was glad to be there nonetheless. Bless the CBC for hosting such a cool show, and for taping it within walking distance to my house!

bouche Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I didn't get any response. this was the first time that I was instructed to use an online form, so I'm wondering if something was screwed up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Neither of us got responses either, but they said they had more people than they usually have. I guess it filled up pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
