Winnipeg Folk Festival Singer–songwriter Amelia Curran will play a free special set for her fans.

If sad songs say so much, then Amelia Curran could filibuster forever. A self-described “thinker and drinker,” Curran writes music that belongs most to rainy days and empty streets at 3:00 a.m. The Newfoundland and Nova Scotia musician performed at the 2009 Winnipeg Folk Festival.

Winnipeg Folk Festival It's time folks! We are studying a new way of selling tickets- bundling camping and festival admission into one ticket (volunteers could still buy camping only). But as we do this, we want to hear from you! What concerns, suggestions, comments do you have about the notion of buying an 'all-in-one' ticket? The more you tell us, the better festival we can build together.

Thanks for the thoughtful comments Joel. Leaving aside the complex question of ensuring that all volunteers can access camping (that is, assuming we find a way to achieve this), what else do you think we need to be mindful of in bundling camping and festival pass together? Also, you are right that folks can still re-sell a camping+fest pass, but bundling makes it much harder to do.

Peter Crossley The Winnipeg Folk Festival provided many weekends of fun and international music. for me and mine in the 1970s, with the best-of-the-best list of folk artists. I am thrilled to see it flourishing. Yes, I will always be a fan of such excellence.

Many within our Winnipeg Folk Festival family may have heard of the loss of a talented young singer-songwriter earlier this week. Taylor Mitchell died after being attacked by coyotes while on tour in Atlantic Canada. Several of our volunteers and audience members got to know Taylor this summer when she was a particip...ant in the Young Performers' Program at the 2009 Winnipeg Folk Festival.
Folk musician David Newland has contributed some meaningful perspective and thoughts on the impact this has had in the folk community.
