Apologies for diverting from the folk festival topic.

Thanks for the feedback. I recognize Dane now that you mentioned him. The curly hair is unmistakable. I remember Bruce Mackay as a major name on the folk scene but I can't recall him performing at the Workshop. Cafe Andre comes to mind as one of his venues. In 1968 Chaim did a fantastic version of Bruce's Geneva Brown. I have a number of tapes of MC4 visits to the Workshop including the one you mentioned but I haven't moved them to digital yet.

The Workshop certainly moved around after losing the Moose Hall location. It was briefly in Cafe Andre. It was also in a 2nd floor legion hall on the south side of Dorchester near Mountain I think. I wasn't in Montreal when the Workshop was in the William Tell. I believe its last days were in another 2nd floor legion hall above the Novo Rex tavern - but I may be confusing this with the Mogul Lounge you mentioned. My direct involvement with the Workshop was from early 66 to the fall of 68.
