Anyway, it was a very good gig. Dan McKinnon is an excellent performer, and he's got some very good new material - he's moved away from the sea somewhat and his new songs include tales about the Halifax explosion and the plight of Canadian farmers. There's some very thoughtful new material, which is on a new cd "Minstrel in the rain" - an excellent piece of work.

All being well, Dan will be back in the UK next Autumn, Barbara Portlock is agenting for him if anyone wants to book him (and you really should).
