Wolfe Island wrap-up — with videos
What a terrific weekend we had at Wolfe Island. We wimped out on camping and stayed at MacDonald’s B&B, in a cabin separate from the house:
This used to be a stable (hence the decor), though it felt so tiny… and then, we found out why:
Just next door was a larger stable with a horse… and a MINIATURE horse. Turns out the MacDonalds used to breed the minis, and the sweetie above is their last one; she’s 29!
As for the MUSIC… well! It’s taken me until now to sift through, fix up and post all the vids I took. I’ll let them speak (sing) for themselves:
FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE GENERAL WOLFE HOTEL
Katie Moore (with Snailhouse) — Rush Enough
Cuff the Duke — Another Day in Purgatory
SATURDAY AT THE MAINSTAGE
Jim Bryson (with Jill Barber and The Weakerthans) — Freeways in the Front Yard
The Acorn — Dents (Glory, Pt. 1)
Diamond Rings — On Our Own
Bahamas (aka Afie Jurvanen) — You Release Me (please correct the title if you know it :)
Think About Life — again… let me know if you know the title to this, please. These guys were the surprise hit for me — I’d never heard of them, and they blew my socks off!
Shad — We, Myself and I
The Weakerthans — One Great City!
The Weakerthans (with Jim Bryson) — (Manifest)
Another highlight of the weekend for me:
That’s me with Shad, who’d had a phenomenal set just hours before. John snapped this at the after-party, and when we left, Shad was on the dancefloor, still wearing my re[TURN] shirt. Whee! We will be back next year, to be sure.
