Subject: E. Ontario: Come to Willie-O's Session
Hey folks, I'm hosting a Celtic session outdoors at the Stewart Park Festival in beautiful downtown Perth Ontario, later this same month.
Date: Sunday, July 27, 1 p.m. at the Festival Acoustic Stage.
Anyone who can make it to Perth (1 hr west of Ottawa, 3.5 hr east of Toronto) that weekend with an instrument is invited.
Here's the festival website: www.stewartparkfestival.ca
There are three great things about this festival:
- the location--a lovely sprawling green park along the banks of the Tay River, right in downtown Perth, an Ontario heritage town full of old stone buildings
- the price--FREE
- the music lineup is always great
Drop me a line if you think you might make it; there's info about accommodations etc on the website.
I'm also playing a spot at the festival beer patio on Saturday at 2 p.m.
There's not really any Celtic acts on the mainstage bill this year, so I'm beatin the bushes looking for players for the session. I expect a good turnout from our two local fiddle orchestras, but would sure like to see some new faces (or old familiar ones for that matter).
See ya there!
