DevO Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 KevO you will probably like to hear that you were one of my most requested people to work with.....Come back! Ha! Most requested by the artists themselves I take it? After all, I did give Joel Plaskett a good smashing to the shin with a guitar amp when he wasn't looking. He found it to be a humbling experience if I recall correctly - he apologized to ME about it! I still have a funny picture of you Sean gazing at Travis Good from side stage during one of the workshops (with the Sadies, Amy Milan, Charlotte Cornfield, etc). I will get that to you some day. Say hi to Sonny Ochs for me if she is back again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Awesome first night of music tonight. Bruce Peninsula, Foggy Hogtown Boys, & Hoots and Hellmouth all totally delivered; great energy off the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Wow that was a trip -- early morning for me and at 6am-ish or thereabouts and with barely half a coffee in my belly, I suddenly hear Northern Wish's voice -- look up and see his face on my television (CTV local news) talking Folk Fest.Sad that I missed the Hidden Cameras, but duty called. How was it? One time, long ago, driving to a festival with Joel Gibb of HC where we were camping out at his aunt's place, my girlfriend at the time stuck a big wad of gum in his hair because he had said something very not nice. He had a total meltdown. This was before he came out - I always wonder if he would be cooler to hang with now that he has gotten that out of the way. The last interview I saw with him, he seemed much less dickish then the guy I knew in my teenage years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipzoso Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 ^ oh for sure, I'll get it all transferred at some point this week.The highlight of the festival for me was Brothers Salvation workshop with Arrested Development, Bruce Peninsula, Hoots and Hellmouth, Hidden Cameras, and Jill Zmud. Specifically the Crabapples jam that evolved into AD's Revolution and then into 4 Non Blonde's "Whats Going On". Just one of those special moments.I was also quite blown away by Hoots and Hellmouth and the ferioucness and energy they play with. Will definitely catch them if they roll around here again.Was great meeting you Sean and your team, and Hans did an excellent job on Galaxie tent as well, super nice guy! Tell him that.

AD Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Loved the no-smoking rule at the main stage. And the $12 Thai combo plate was delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one of those special moments.I was also quite blown away by Hoots and Hellmouth and the ferioucness and energy they play with. Will definitely catch them if they roll around here again.I agree 10000% on both points. The Whats Going On was followed up by Jill Zmud starting Water into Wine as an acapella and quickly evolved into a gospel rave up. We were actually watching the stage very closely where Hoots and Speech were raging- there was some concern that the stage might give way.....Highlights were far too many remember them all but how about:-Brother Loves Travelling Show-Watching Jenny Whiteley with Dan Whiteley + Amy Millan and seeing CanRock support its own (Luke Doucet, Jim Bryson and Kevin Drew were all in attandance)-Just about everything Frank Turner did this weekend both on and off stage was entertaining but his adventures in Jameson on Sunday and his cover of Thunder Road on Friday were the tops-hearing FreekerByTheSpeeker ask me "why, whats going on out there?" when I told him that the site was a disaster on Sunday and he told me he had slept through the storm of the year-planning Ottawas new fest : "Awesomefest" with Dylan, Lynne Hanson, Trev and Frank Turner (details are sketchy, but there will be lots of women, whiskey, a swim up tiki bar and Frank / Loudon Wainright will rotate sets for the whole fest)-seeing Jim Bryson play a strong set despite some recent bad press-swimming at Brittania Beach mid afternoon listening to Frank Turner, Carolyn Mark and Jim Bryson talk about kids, harmonicas and discussing the 'range' of the nearby throat singer-Jim Cuddy thanking the crew for making the show possible not only before he went on, but then to the crowd as well getting my team a bit of a standing ovationSnoots toots and boots!Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
