I would like to mention a great music festival that I have been to and volunteered for half of the last 20 years?
I take pride in it as it is near my home city and this will be its
34th year.
It is the Winnipeg Folk Festival at Birdshill Park. This year it will be held July 5-8.
I have seen some big name talent there as I worked stage for half of that time. Some legends who performed at my workshop stage were the late Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, Guy Clark, Tom Paxton, Steve Earl, Lyle Lovett, David Lindley and many more.
It has grown to be one of the premier outdoor music festivals in the world with musicians from all parts of the globe.
Check out their site for info and there is also a link to MySpace for even more stuff.

Plan your summer holidays for this event.
