I'd give my eye teeth to be there. Looks like an excellent programme.

I didn't see the program yet. Is there any Canadian traditional music on it?

Hi Jon. I put a link to the schedule. There is a lot there. Also, the Saturday night event is a concert called Ancestry in Song. This reprises a show done at Lunenberg Folk Harbour Festival a few years ago. This features songs from the Helen Creighton Collection with singers from the Maritime region covering songs from English/Scottish, Micmac, Acadien & Scottish Gaelic cultures. There are papers being presented which include topics covering Miramichi which would be Canadian Traditional songs/singing.
