Over three days and nights from October 15th to 18th, the Crown Plaza hotel in Ottawa played host to the annual conference of the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals. Folk musicians, promoters, managers, media-types, festival organizers, and stow-aways from far and wide gathered to mingle, jam, and have a lot of fun. I was lucky enough to attend, and spent most of my time wandering the 17th and 18th floor between the hours of 9pm and 4am, playing a folk inspired word association game, conducting impromptu interviews, and recording the jams and performances going on in every room.
This weeks show is the result of those recordings, with some tracks from albums and the net thrown in for good measure. Hopefully, I can shed some light on what the conference was like after business was taken care of and the festivities began. A big thank you to everyone at the Conference, and especially those who lent their voices and music to this show.
