Default 2007 Calgary Folk Festival

Line up was announced today.

http://www.calgaryfolkfest.com/users...?FolderID=1755

Pretty impressive list, IMO. Will definitely be getting the 4 day pass and making the extra effort to catch Bela Fleck.

Where's HINDER!?!?!

Signed,

Every other concert this summer.

Looks like it should be a great weekend of music. Has Great Big Sea been to FF before?

Not a bad lineup, I wouldn't mind seeing Neko Case, Final Fantasy, Sarah Slean, Rufus Wainwright, William Elliot Whitmore and Hawksley Workman. I doubt I'll get a 4 day pass but I might go one of the days.

Any idea when they'll have the schedule up for which artists are playing on which days?

Bela Fleck plays the banjo. You're probably thinking of Victor Wooten.

Yeah that'd be Victor. He's pretty bad ass.

Ahahaha Chumbawumba?! Random. In a drunken state I requested Chumbawumba at a bar in Victoria once... lets just say, pretty much the entire dance floor cleared other than me.

Anyways, the lineup does look great, I'm looking forward to it.

I'll be going on whichever day Hawksley Workman is playing.

I am a man, and man, I love that man.

I'm all about Bandaloni! I'm certain he will put on a wicked show. Who the hell is Gustavo the impossiblist?

And the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir always puts on a good show.

I'm still kicking myself for not going to see Kris Kristofferson last year at the FF. Damn summer weddings. Always screwing up my summer weekends.

Eleni Mandell would be great, but overall there's not a lot in the lineup that I'd like to see. Think I'll give it a miss this year.

Great lineup as usual. The Stampede sure could use a lesson from these guys about quality....

First night is on Thursday. I've got the 4 day pass and will probably be LH'd for a lot of it.
