So far the following have added their name to the performers list for May Day 2010. Paula Fletcher, Bill Turner, Mark Bishop and Kevin Cassibo from the Rank n File. Kevin Wrycraft, the CAW balladeer; and singer/songwriter/activist Sara Marlowe have also agreed to be part of an exciting May Day program at the Tranzac Club in Toronto on Thursday, April 29.
Hope to have a new recording of labour music classics ready for the "Tough Times Tour"
Wonderful to hear from Roy and Joan Jollimore and George Dryburgh interested in helping put together a similar May Day program for London. It's been years. The last time the Rank n File played there it was about minus 40 and it was the kick-off for the "Days of Action" against Mike Harris.
Waiting on the good folks from Ottawa to get back in touch re: a possible similar engagement there.
Ditto for Don Bouzek, Ground Zero, and Dave Werlin, ALHI, from Alberta, who I haven't seen since the tour there two years ago. Off to BC/Alberta May26-June16 as part of the "Tough Times Tour".
Back to get ready for the Mariposa Folk Festival
