    Juno FanFest

    Last year hubby and I made the trip to Winnipeg for the Juno's. I believe it was Delaney who said that Men in Kilts who were preforming at JunoFest where not to be missed. I must thank her as these guys put on a great show and even signed my autograph book. This year we are making the trip to Halifax. Already have our tickets to the Songwriters' Circle, I think that will be the highlight this year. I'm looking for suggestions on who to see and where to go for JunoFest Friday and Saturday night. There are so many artist playing it's hard to choose where to go. So great wise board members of the east coast who do you think we should see? Where is the best bar? And does anyone really know where the after parties happen? http://www.junoawards.ca/06_JWE_junofest.php

    Clarity is the big pusher of MIK here. I'd love to say that I've seen them, but I haven't yet been able to get into Shannon's and catch them... I'm having ID issues.

    That's really cool that you're heading out to Halifax! I don't think they'll compete with Winnipeg though (how is anyone gonna live up to that?). Wink

    You're sure to have a great time. Halifax is a beautiful place even when not swarming with musicians. Big Grin Please take photos and document for those of us who are, *ahem* missing the action.

    If somebody doesn't tell me how to buy MIK's "Commando" I'm going to start offering people shiny bribes to bootleg it for me! IT'S NOT MY FAULT I'M A BLOODTHIRSTY MONEYHUNGRY GAS-GUZZLING CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-FARTING YANK, DANGBLAST IT!

    Re: Juno FanFest

    I took a quick look and at first glance I would tell you to catch Matthew Barber.

    Also, Ron Sexsmith is not to be missed! An amazing songwriter.

    Thanks Layra Ron Sexsmith is at the songwriters's with Alan. This should be the best of the weekend except when GBS collects their first JUNO!!!
    Sorry if my type is full of errors but when I repky and type there are a bunch of funny lines not letters in the message box. When I post it it comes out with letters, but my typing isn't that good I need to see what I type.
    I'll check out Matthew Barber online to see if I can get a listen to his work
    Thanks agian

    Tried that - they don't answer their email! I'll try again, though.

    Love, Columbine

    Oh, I second that. He's lovely... good music too. Wink

    I just looked at the list - Matt Mays & El Torpedo are awsome; the Novaks did good at the ECMAs (I thought) but they had some... Language issues; The Barra MacNeils are good; I've heard Aselin Debison has a beautiful voice... Oooh, I'm really envious now. Big Grin

    ETA: Are you catching the hockey game, by any chance? I see Cory Tetford is playing and I'm just gonna go cry in my beer now. Please, humour me and take lots of pictures and note his every move. lovestruck

    Re: Juno FanFest

    Hey Delaney
    Yes we have tickets to the Hockey GAme. We were able to get tickets to everything except the Award show( on a 25th anniversary cruise when they went on sale ) not to worry Row c for the songwriters' cicle. Not sure how many awards will be handed out at the show anyway seems there are a lot of acts to perform.
    Hockey game was ablast in selkirk
    I'll try and take lots of photos

    I think after the Hockey game we'll go to The Frigate to see Cory Tetford (who is playing in the Hockey game) and Matthew Barber. then to see Ron sexsmith. So many things to do and see!!!!!

    Re: Juno FanFest

    We did get to see Cory play hockey but almost missed him singing because of the line up to get in the bar

    Stayed for Matthew barber and then thought we'd try to see Ron sexsmith. Hard choice as Ron Hynes was next. Of cousre the line up again was too long. Should have stayed where we were. Sounds like mr Doyle show up there to see Ron Hynes Darn the luck.

    Great weekend I would recommand it to everyone

    Re: Juno FanFest

    Coco, you can start a new thread, but instead of clicking on "Discussion" click "Photo Album" then you just upload the pictures right from your computer. Does that help? Cant' wait to see them.
