BEDM - May 2nd

Ohai there!

Now, after finishing THE LONGEST ESSAY IN HISTORY, I have 2 things to talk about today. One is awesome, the other... not so much.

The folk festival foy last night was made of win but it was 5 and a quarter HOURS of music, which for a big music fan like me was hard to take. Luckily, the vast majority of the acts were awesome, and without further ado, here are my favourites:


  • Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three


Wonderfully flamboyant stage performers with possibly the best name ever?


  • L'Angélus


Similar to Pokey in many ways, but swamp pop! And a sax solo!


  • Findlay Napier and the Bar Room Mountaineers



Sorry, it's the same clip as yesterday but they really are fabulous. And really nice people! They sang a song about a stalker last night!


  • Fred Morrison Trio


Now, I hate bagpipes but this guy is phenomenal. I was entertained and invigorated by his performance. (This is him without the other 2!)


  • Genticorum


Quebecois folk music. That is all.

Actually I think I'm going to write about Osama tomorrow. For today - enjoy the music!
