London, ON
Just fresh from a brilliant weekend in London playing at the Home County Folk Festival! We said aurevoir this evening in true folky style with a rousing version of Goodnight Irene in the rain … Rocked the mainstage Saturday night w/Captain Dirt on bass, and sported the brand new polka-dot apron I bought at one of the craft vendors! Um … hot. Other weekend highlights included: A sweet instrumental workshop with Don Ross and the Foggy Hogtown Boys, a band photo shoot on top of the Holy Roller, Victoria Park’s famous tank and a craft booth of candles that looked exactly like desserts. I mean, cherry pies, chocolate sundaes and the whole world of cupcakes … dude, it was impressive.
Not to mention, this weekend marked my first gig as embedded reporter for Roots Music Canada! I’ll be putting together video blogs of all the festivals I attend this summer … From a Sweetlandish perspective, of course. Took lots of footage and interviewed a whole host of characters. Can’t wait to edit! The polished video will surface soon on www.rootsmusic.ca. Stay tuned.
Captain Dirt & The Skirt go for a ride.
