Decoded, this means that Les Sullivan (writer of Jutland, and the Roses of No Man's Land)is currently in Canada for a month's holiday, and is looking for places to sing... I hope Vancouver finds him soon.

Les has just come first in the prestigious Song writing conest organised by the very old maidenhead folk Club with his song 'The Ringmaster's Hat'

we've heard it at Windward and Spotlight recently too!!

the good news is tht he wont be able to enter next time so it gives Tony Geen a chance of a comeback.

thanks kitty , I hadnt sussed the frog as I am primed for toad.

Frogs looking for an real acoustic venue similar to a folk club I think.

Then I would recommend the Vancouver Folk Song Society. The url above tells the story. I think that's the closest to what I THINK the UK groups are like.

Hopefully (for Vancouverians) Les will find somewhere to gig in the area. That is, of course, if they can drag him out of the water for long enough.

By the way Les and Frogette, thanks for the B/day card.

Hello There;
I saw a link to this webpage via a Yahoo search.
I host / produce / run sound for a weekly radio show called Radio Bandcouver.Though the show is more of a Roots-Rock and Pop show, I do play the odd artist that could clasify as Folk (which is a highly evelving form as well), such as: Geoff Berner, Po' Girl, Minimalist Jug Band, Veda Hille (recently signed by XTC's Andy Partridge and his Ape label), Cleia and Tim Readman.
I have a website explaining what I do at www.bandcouver.com.
You can e-mail me there as well.
You can hear the show on-line around the world at www.coopradio.org
from 9pm-10:30 P.S.T. from Vancouver, B.C., Canada
Check your time zone, and happy listening.

Mark Bignell

you shouldnt have to qualify Vancouver as Vancouver BC.
(unless you are talking about Vancouver Washington) anymore than one would have to qualify London. (which one? Ontario or England?)

Steve Edge at the Rogue folk club would be the best bet, as they put on a lot of folk concerts at different size venues.

If Vancouver doesn't float your boat, hop on down to Seattle (about 120 miles south) and you'll find a lot going on.
