Music workshops and small concerts run from noon to 6 each day in the Courtyard, on deck of our ship CSS Acadia and in Sackville Landing performance venue (HRM).

22 Jun 10 - 05:37 PM (#2932877) Subject: RE: Halifax Harbour Sea Music Festival From: GUEST,Russ Richard Grainger http://www.richard-grainger.com (he's from the North East of England ..Middlesbrough)just played the past month in southwestern Ontario and finished off his tour at the Port Dover (Ontario) Marine Heritage Festival. I asked him if he has ever toured the east coast of Canada yet, he said no, but he'd like to. He just flew back to the UK this evening but is coming back to the Cambridge Ontario area for the 18th annual Mill Race Folk Festival at the end of July. He is staying with us at our house, so I will show him your web site and maybe next year he could play at your festive. He's a brilliant story teller/song writer. Have a listen to some of his stuff on Youtube if you dont know who he is Cheer Russ |

30 Jun 10 - 06:21 AM (#2937134) Subject: RE: Halifax Harbour Sea Music Festival From: GUEST,David Stone Thanks for all the discussion - I'd be more than happy to receive some music from Richard Grainger - we are fairly set for this year - unless I win the lottery of course - We have had a flood of interest from US and UK performers and a few ticket enquiries to date. Right now we have added Al Parrish (formerly of Tanglefoot) Bob Walser (Minneapolis) Debra Cowan (Westborough Mass) plus our own phenomenal singer/writer Dan McKinnon. My address is David Stone, 51 Parkland Drive, Unit D4 Halifax, NS, Canada, B3S 1M2. David |

09 Aug 10 - 10:01 AM (#2961092) Subject: RE: Halifax Harbour Sea Music Festival From: GUEST,Russ I gave Richard Grainger the link to your web site. I know its a bit late for him to arrange/attend this year. Hopefully he'll be able to attend next year. He's a bit of a workaholic when it comes to festivals (not just organising them himself but playing at as many as he can). I think he had a good time/stay with us while he attended the Millrace Festival :) |
