Your gain is our loss....we're missing having them at Sidmouth this year, as they're over with all of you....ho hum...but, we're going to have to learn to share them I guess.... I know you'll love them.....just don't hang on to them for tooooo long though! Oh...Beautiful Canada, Gorgeous Canadians AND (possibly) The Best Wandering Minstrels In The Land! It's not fair...some people have all the luck! ;0) Although....at least we got to see the wonderful James Keelaghan and Stephen Fearing this year, so that makes up for it. Mmmmmm...Canada!

I'll send her over in SoH's luggage.... ;0) http://www.myspace.com/showofhandsuk Tell you what though Canada...any chance you do a pupil's exchange visit and send us Great Big Sea? http://www.myspace.com/greatbigseaofficial And here's James....love that 'Cold Missouri Waters' track....so sad...James is a brilliant storyteller..just like SoH. http://www.myspace.com/jameskeelaghan And Stephen Fearing...Oh we had such a lovely night that night...what a great chap and a fabulous guitarist! http://www.myspace.com/stephenfearing And you can't have a SoH Candian thread without mentioning Martyn Joseph either..a man who puts you in touch with your soul!

26 Jul 06 - 10:34 AM (#1793675) Subject: RE: Show of Hands, Canada tour dates From: Lizzie Cornish I'm not dreaming of going where the 'countess' is going! Trust me! ;0) Gordon Lightfoot....now there's another lovely man! His 'unofficial' myspace page got zapped though...that's a shame. Never mind, we'll improvise, as I have Canadian Railroad Fever rather badly at present....... Right, altogether then, after three..... "Oh there was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run. When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun. Long before the white man and long before the wheel. When the green dark forests were too silent to be real.." I know ALL the words to that song...I think that alone should qualify me for free entry to Canada and places at all the Show of Hands gigs. In fact...SoH should sing that song...then I could help them out with the chorus.... I think I'm on to something here.... ;0) |

I love that book...and the series! Did you know it was mostly filmed in Ontario though...yup! Interesting fact for the day that was. http://www.anne3.com/ I'm going to dig those videos out tonight and watch them.... Actually, they could make an entire new episode, where Anne discovers the delights of Show of Hands, after seeing them at Canmore...I'll have to think up a new name for that episode...;0) Just look at this incredible setting (the link above isn't working): http://www.canmorefolkfestival.com/ Can you imagine Anne sitting there...and then Steve and Phil come on stage....and well.......... |

26 Jul 06 - 11:57 AM (#1793724) Subject: RE: Show of Hands, Canada tour dates From: number 6 Zoom has cheap flights between Halifax and Glasgow ... unfortunaely it's schedule is seasonal ... ferrie's, none from Britain and Canada, it's a pretty big ocean between us .... PEI is now joined to the mainline by a bridge, no need for a ferry anymore (free to drive over, $70 per car to drive off the island) .... in case you are unaware, Cape Breton is connected to the mainland by a causeway for some years now. If you want Acadian music you have forgotten the north shore of New Brunswick. Gaspe is worth the trip in the autumn ... in fact if you schedule a trip in the fall you can catch the Celtic Colours festival in Cape Breton (October 6th - 14th) ... there is a post floating around the Cat regarding this festival. sIx |

26 Jul 06 - 12:08 PM (#1793731) Subject: RE: Show of Hands, Canada tour dates From: The Borchester Echo Thanks sIx. No, I didn't actually mean a transatlantic ferry (!) but local (ish) ones that sort of cruised around the Maritimes and maybe on up the St Lawrence. A civilised way to travel. I didn't know about the new bridge and causeway as I haven't been to Canada for about 25 years. Yes, I met some Halifax musicians on Skye who told me about the cheap flight into Glasgow; you can do a stopover in Reykjavik. Isn't there much Acadian on PEI? It's where Barachois come from . . . |

26 Jul 06 - 01:24 PM (#1793783) Subject: RE: Show of Hands, Canada tour dates From: GUEST,number 6 countess richard ... there is a small but very tight knit Acadian population on PEI ... the majority of the Acadian population is in New Brunswick, along the north shore ... in fact roughly 1/3 of the population of the province of New Brunsiwick is Acadian. New Brunswick is also, I'm proud to say since it is where I live, the only true bilingual province in Canada, as it being legislated by the province. As per a water trip down the St. Lawrence ... I can't help you there as I have no knowledge of those services available ... but that does sound interesting. I should like to commend you on being knowledgable about where the best music in Canada is found ... in Eastern Canada and Quebec! sIx |

26 Jul 06 - 05:40 PM (#1793979) Subject: RE: Show of Hands, Canada tour dates From: Lizzie Cornish From Me: "And you can't have a SoH Candian thread without mentioning Martyn Joseph" From countess: "Eh? The ex-patriate Welsh live in Patagonia (last time I looked). And that's not near Missouri either." Actually Martyn's over in Canada right at this minute, although he's due to cross over to the States shortly. Here's a bit from his on-line 'Canadian' diary: http://www.piperecords.co.uk/news/diary.asp And he's doing the 'Witness' tour with Show of Hands in the autumn...can't wait for that, they all 'spark' off each other brilliantly! http://www.piperecords.co.uk/martynj/ |
