2. Updated Concert Calendar

We have some very exciting concerts lined up over the next few weeks and months, with lots of new faces, some old favourites, and an eclectic cavalcade of new music from each and every one of them. Here is our latest poster, designed by our very talented new publicist Karolina Pelc. For more details visit www.roguefolk.bc.ca

3. Watch for News of Folk Festival Discounts!

The Rogue will once again have a tent in the Community Village at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival in Jericho Beach Park July 17 - 19th. Every year we offer a special deal to Rogue Folk Club members on advance tickets for the weekend, and it looks like being a fabulous festival once again. We will announce that special deal in the next couple of days, so you don't need to rush to hit their Early Bird deadline this weekend. Save money with a little help from The Rogue!

4. Radio Waves - 41st Anniversary Special!

On the Saturday Edge On Folk this week I'll have brand spanking new music from Dervish, Ryan Young, Leeroy Stagger, Mama's Broke, Okan, Annie Gallup, Grace Petrie, La famille LeBlanc, Putumayo Discovery's African Sojourn, Celtic Colours Live Vol. 13 and more. Plus features on Mary Gauthier & Jaimee Harris, Ireland's Aidan Connolly & Bryan O'Leary, and a whole bunch of old favourites who have featured on my show since the very first edition on June 1st 1985. So this is the 41st Anniversary Special, folks. I hope you will join me, and raise a glass over breakfast. Tune in and turn on to www.citr.ca or 101.9fm in Vancouver, this and every Saturday from 8am to 12 noon. In case you missed the show, or indeed any other show I've made recently, podcasts of all shows, dating back to 2008, are on the CiTR website on The Saturday Edge page linked above.
