> For any of you in easy reach of The Big Smoke (although it is far less > smoggy than where I live) Ashley MacIsaac will be playing at the venerable > Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto (Queen St. West near Spadina) this coming > Saturday evening, July 22. I believe tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at > the door -- it isn't a huge tavern so don't anticipate getting in late. A > group called Enter The Haggis is also playing, but I am unclear if he is > playing with them or if they are the back up band. > > It should be noted that after his many shenangans MacIsaac has been very > well behaved and most of his recent gigs have been entirely traditional. > When he played here in Windsor not long ago he had with him his sister Lisa, > also a fiddler, and fiddler/piano player Howie MacDonald. They played the > show very much like a Cape Breton dance and even invited John Allan > Cameron's sister up from the audience to play the piano so that the three of > them could do a long dance set together. > > But I won't vouch for what he might do on Queen Street West in Toronto, the > heart of Canada's poseur trendy world. He detests poseurs so it is entirely > possible that he might feel himself driven into make a "statement" of some > sort. > > > Timothy Jaques [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Windsor, Ontario, Canada > 519.254.6433 T > 519.254.7990 F > "In the great conflict of life, conducting yourself with honour and > integrity may cost > you many battles, but will never lose you the war." > > > > Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
