Fortunately in and around Toronto there are good opportunities to get involved to hear and play different forms of tradtional music on a regular basis. Certainly in the folk music clubs - Flying Cloud/Tranzac Club, Acoustic Harvest, Hugh's Room have their share, and there is quite a bit of Irish, bluegrass, and some country dances to be had in other venues. There are a few song circles and jam sessions around as well. Yes Millrace and Goderich Celtic College have traditional music as their main agenda at their festivals, and specialised fiddle/stepdance events (lets face it - these are unique), but most other Ontario Folk festivals do not. They may have some acts on their rosters that are trad or trad based, but for the most part it looks as if those acts are becoming less frequent every year especially at the bigger festivals where you would think there would be room for a lot of diversity.
