on sunday i went to the vancouver folk festival. it was ace. there were eight stages all scattered through a large fenced off area on the coast, so one stage was in the bush and another had views out to the sea, the city and the mountains. have i mentioned what a beautiful city this is?
we saw some amazing music, from gospel to intense throat singing, funky folk, stories about union history, sea songs, spoken word, punjabi music and the _the be good tanyas_. this is bitch and the exciting conclusion (note max from _the L-word_ playing the keyboard):
lots of friends in the crowd, and lots of friends-of-friends, and their work mates, choir friends, ex-roomies and mothers. see VTA and chicory's human!
it was a slightly younger crowd than port fairy, and the completely outdoor setting meant crowding wasn't as much an issue. beautiful sunny weather, not too hot.the night concert was beautiful. ziggy baggsed a big spot near the front, and the weather put on a show. here are some photos i stole from the internet:
this one you have to click on and make big. purty.
another very good day!
