Brendan: I'll be in Fionn Macool's on Thursday, July 21 and for three nights thereafter, following the folk festival's closing acts. There is a great four-day line up this year, including Waterson/McCarthy, Mary Gauthier, Iris DeMent, the Indigo Girls, Ron Hynes, Dochas and Jackie Leven from Scotland, the McGarrigles, Steve Earle and dozens of other suberb performers. www.calgaryfolkfest.com for the full list ... The Arrogant Worms, the Wailin' Jennys, but unfortunately not David Francey, whom the festival organizers seem to be deliberately shunning, despite his two Juno awards and a nomination for a third. He is possibly being punished for writing The Streets of Calgary, about the working girls outside the Westlin Hotel ... but nah ... that would be censorship!
