On the other hand, there's lots of musical happenings happening just west of Toronto (45 min. to 3 hours worth of driving). I have a personal website that makes an attempt at keeping track of some of it. Try ww.jeremiah.ca

There's also an excellent one-day folk festival, called "Octoberfolk", In Brantford, Ontario (about 2 hours or less from TO) that would be well worth your time. Saturday October 2 is the date.
