Things to do on a rainy long weekend in Vancouver!
Friday February 6, 2015

Radio Waves
I definitely won't be broadcasting outdoors this weekend! This photo was taken at the Mission Folk Music Festival a few years ago - when I was actually able to broadcast the show live from the festival site (using the Box Office wifi feed. This caused problems when the gates opened an hour before my show was over!)

Anyhow, I'll be back on the air tomorrow morning from 8am to noon on The Edge On Folk on CiTR fm 101.9 and www.citr.ca I hope you can join me for four hours of the best Folk & Roots Music I can find to wash away those rainy day blues. 

This year sees the 30th Anniversary of my show on CiTR! The Special Birthday Edition will be on Saturday May 30th. I hope to have some musical guests, and will play some of my favourite songs from the past 3 decades. If you would like to suggest a band or a singer or a song, please get in touch!

Meanwhile, I'll have a Valentine's Day Special next weekend, then Heather McCain will fill in on February 21st. I'm off to the Folk Alliance Conference in Kansas City.

On Saturday February 28th it's CiTR's Annual Fundrive and we're asking for your support to keep the show - and the station - on the air. This will be an extra special program, and I hope to have some guests - maybe including Fred Eaglesmith, who is in town for two Rogue concerts that weekend -  on the show. Plus a whole bunch of new music from the Folk Alliance. 

This weekend we hope to have a new Radio Rogue service up and running. Probably on Sunday. This should be more reliable than the current broadcast, which has a nasty tendency to go silent every now and then. Radio Rogueruns 24/7 and currently features an extensive playlist of songs by upcoming Rogue performers - plus a healthy dose of new and vintage recordings.
