12 Mar 10 - 09:06 AM (#2862575) Subject: Montreal returns to 1961? The What Four From: john f weldon For those who haven't already noticed, a bunch of legendary Montreal folkies have hauled out their axes, polished off the rust... ...oh God, I'm sounding like a copywriter... ...still, a lot of you Mudcatters know these guys, just look at all the Montreal 60s nostalgia that got collected here last year! The What Four are: Peter Weldon, Jack Nissenson, Marvin Segal, John Knowles, Jane McGarrigle, Andrew Cowan & Steve Barry. You'll recognize some names from the Mountain City Four, not to mention the Steve Barry Blues Band which never went out of style. Their first gig is at the Centre St Ambroise (5080-A) March 20 8PM. |

We even drove along St. Ambroise looking for a possible venue yesterday afternoon -- and somehow I missed this thread completely. DARN! |

The What Four From: john f weldon When I say the place was packed, I mean bodies jammed against the walls, and dozens more out in the hall where they couldn't even see the stage. Next time, they'll get a bigger venue (I'm hoping outdoors). With an average age close to 70 (!) (not counting Kathleen Weldon and Lily Lanken who joined in a few songs at the end), they're not a computer-y bunch. |

Just goes to show you, one snark & it comes back. However, yes, if they didn't know about Mudcat before, they do now. |
