Default NL Folk Festival a big success this year

This past weekend the 36th Newfoundland & Labrador Folk Festival
was held in Bannerman Park in St. John's and it was a great
success. Last year there was one cancelled session due to
rain and there was a move inside the luckily available stadium,
and there was a loss. But this year the weather was excellent
all weekend and there were good crowds to hear the well-balanced
mix of local performers and performers from away. (This year
after last year's loss there was more focus on local performers
but there were some from away including Qristina and Quinn
Bachand, Raw Bar Collective, James Keelaghan and Vishten.)

The festival web site is http://www.nlfolkfestival.com and
if you want to start planning for next year, it will be
held on the Friday to Sunday following the first Wednesday
in August (the Regatta is on that Wednesday and the
George Street Festival is before that Wednesday).

If you are a performer (including any on uk.music.folk in the
UK) and want to play in next year's festival I think you have
until the end of 2012 to apply and details should be posted on
the above web site and/or http://www.nlfolk.com in a while.
