<div>my heart sank today as i heard news of Utah's passing... <br/> <br/>here is something i wrote for the folkfest program book in 2006 about Utah <br/>he had a huge presence and influence not only on myself, but many musicians and listeners... <br/> <br/>blessing on your journey dear one~~~ <br/> <br/> <br/>Utah Phillips <br/> <br/>“You’ve got to mess with people!” –words spoken by a true legend. <br/> <br/>Mr. U. Utah Phillips has been with the festival since the beginning, gaining him the nickname ‘the godfather of the festival’ and rightfully so as his ideas and philosophies have had a profound impact on the way our festival has grown over the years. And, he continues to thrill audiences old and new. <br/> <br/>It is inspiring to see an elder have as much rapport with older folks 29 years later, as it is to see his appeal and respect from those in their teens and twenties. He remains accessible to all generations because his message of unity, resistance and love are timeless and borderless. The struggle of the human race remains the same as the technologies and environments around us evolve. And Utah after 70 years is still at the forefront tearing down the walls. <br/> <br/>While other singer/songwriters can only write about the past, Utah has lived through it and shares this through his songs and stories. He has ridden the rails and hobo’ed across the USA. He has fought in a war and on the picketlines. He has been arrested for his anti-war activities. He was even a candidate for the US Senate! A raconteur, a labourer, an activist, a friend, Utah is sure to tell you about what he’s seen and been through. Yet he does this with such joy and humour that one wonders how he keeps going after all these years. While most his age would be comfortably retired, he forges ahead spreading the message to the masses because he knows how important it is to keep the flame of hope alive, and to educate younger generations. And he isn’t one to shy away from embracing the newer sounds of music (ie. hip hop and electronic music) either. Educating himself on turntables as instruments, and listening to the new MC’s and singers, he knows that in the tradition of storytelling, these emerging artists are sharing their messages of resistance and struggle, as Utah was 50 years ago with a guitar. <br/> <br/>And remember, while watching Utah this weekend, that he is passing down traditions to us the listeners, so that we may use our voices, minds and hearts to keep the struggle for unity and peace alive. <br/> <br/>To the “godfatha” we raise our hats. It is a sincere pleasure and honour to have Utah with us again. <br/> <br/>www.utahphillips.org</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverfolkmusicfestival">** Vancouver Folk Music Festival **</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>From 2000 to 2005 I was a volunteer at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival (VFMF). Volunteers are the life blood of the festival and each person selects or is assigned to a committee that is assigned a function. As of 2001 I was in the Lantern Committee. <br/> <br/>The VFMF describes the committee as such: <br/>We need committed, fun-loving, and creative people who have time both before and during the Festival to dedicate to the maintenance and creation of our lantern collection. Knowledge of lantern making not necessary! If you enjoy playing with tissue paper and glue and don't mind missing the last few sets each night to help the patrons off the site by lighting their way with our lanterns, this committee may be for you! Committee starts meeting in late May. <br/> <br/>Given the early start of volunteering, and provided that I live in a different city, I have been unable to participate in the last two years. Truly unfortunate as this is an amazing group of people. The lantern volunteers' hard work should be seen by many so I have scanned and posted my photographs on flickr. <br/> <br/>If you wish to take a look at the photographs please visit... <br/>http://www.flickr.com/photos/lalalalalinda/sets/72157600609848458/ <br/> <br/>To my brothers and sisters of tissue paper and glue I hope to join you next year. It has been far too long. With love, Linda.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverfolkmusicfestival">** Vancouver Folk Music Festival **</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Serendipity Celebrates Summmer of Love 2007 <br/>with Divine Music <br/> <br/>In the Meadow, on the Land <br/>2801 Donovan, <br/>Happy Valley <br/>Bellingham WA <br/>1pm - until dark. <br/>Sat. August 4 <br/>$5 donation, children free. <br/>Bring blanket, beach balls and bubbles; <br/>and sun umbrellas. <br/>No booze please. <br/> <br/>Featuring Antion Vikram Singh, <br/>formerly Vic Briggs of The New Animals. <br/> <br/>Humble 60's Musician; a Star in Three Cultures <br/>by K.R.Kaur <br/> <br/>"I like the guitar playing of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Vic Briggs". - Jimi Hendrix 1967 <br/> <br/>Eric Clapton amd Jeff Beck. we've heard of, but who is Vic Briggs? <br/> <br/>Oh yeah, he was the lead guitar player and arranger for Eric Burdon and the New Animals; remember "San Francisco Nights", "Monterey", and "Sky Pilot"? <br/> <br/>"Vic Briggs was the most musically adept musician ever to pass through the ranks of the Animals in either of that group's major incarnations. His association with Eric Burdon &amp; the Animals (sometimes called "the New Animals") made him a key player in British psychedelia, his skills as a guitarist and arranger evident on most of that group's hits from 1966 through 1968. - Bruce Eder" <br/> <br/>So what happened to him? <br/> <br/>Vic Briggs fell in love with East Indian music and culture and changed his name, at the beginning of the 70s. He is Antion Vikram Singh now, a practicing Sikh, In 1979 he became the first non-Indian to ever play classical Gurbani Kirtan, the sacred music of the Sikh religion, at Darbar Sahib in Amritsar Indian, aka The Golden Temple. <br/> <br/>"Classical Indian music takes years and years of study, but somehow I learned Gurbani Kirtan very quickly. So quite suddenly, there I was, this white guy, doing this totally 'Kick Ass Kirtan'! It seemed to disturb them somewhat. They didn't quite know what to make of me. One ragi, Sikh musician, I was close to told me that another ragi, very well known, said I was 'haaneekarak' (dangerous)." <br/> <br/>Then in 1991 Antion was introduced to the music and culture of Hawaii. Surprised to find how much it stirred his soul, Antion began to listen to and learn to play Hawaiian music. This culminated in his moving to the island of Kauai in 1993. He was fortunate to study with an outstanding Kumu Hula (Hula Master), Blaine Kamalani Kia. Antion Vikram Singh has now become known and respected for his Oli (Hawaiian chanting) and has performed at leading Hula Festivals and competitions all over Hawaii. <br/> <br/>"For many years, I have believed that my life purpose is two fold: <br/> <br/>First to inspire and empower others spiritually with the sound of my voice. <br/> <br/>Second, to help others to inspire and empower themselves with the sound of their own voices. <br/> <br/>Recently, I have been inspired to add a third: <br/> <br/>To bring through my music and presence a sense of aloha and healing to all I meet." </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverfolkmusicfestival">** Vancouver Folk Music Festival **</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>continuing on with our dub programming from last year , the Van.Folk Music Festival presents.... <br/> <br/>DubRising! <br/>Three Dub Powerhouses In One Show <br/> <br/>Date: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 <br/>Time: 9 pm <br/>Venue: The Plaza Nightclub (881 Granville Street) <br/>Tickets: $25 (plus service charges) online at right here and $28 (plus services charges in person at Zulu Records and Highlife Records. <br/> <br/> <br/>You’ll hear some of the heaviest dub vibes ever when DubRising takes over The Plaza Nightclub (881 Granville Street) Wednesday, July 11 at 9 pm, bringing together three of the top-ranking dub operators on the planet: Adrian Sherwood’s OnU Sound System, Ryan Moore’s Twilight Circus Dub SoundSystem and west coast live crew Big Bass Theory for one great big night of space, bass and positive attitude. Be there when they take it to another level with the magic and mysterious live moments of beauty conjured by the performance artists of Nucleus and a live video mix by Chonka of nDimension Visuals. <br/> <br/>DubRising is a part of the Vancouver Folk Music Festival’s 30th anniversary celebration and this dream of Dub takes the stage just as artists are arriving from the UK, Australia, and all over for the Festival weekend. Who knows who else may drop in to the mix that night? <br/> <br/>Adrian Sherwood has created a universe of dub over the last 25 years – an original sound cutting hard-ass punk into some of the finest singers and players ever to move between the yards of Kingston and streets of Brixton. Into that mix came hip hop’s founding rhythm aces who created the crucial rhythms and riffs on the Sugar Hill records that broke it out of Brooklyn. When you mix together the three most powerful kinds of music on the planet - punk, dub and hip hop – with some of the most radical rhymers of the day speaking out, the result is a musical revolution that reverberated back and forth across Europe, Japan and North America and back to Jamaica. Twenty-five years later, he’s still a dub standard of excellence, fresher than the rest and all the places where dub has taken root. <br/> <br/>Twilight Circus Dub SoundSystem is bassed – that’s right, bassed - in Amsterdam but the roots run back through time and space to Kingston, and to Vancouver. Twilight is the dubchild of Ryan Moore, a musical imagineer whose bass lines anchored bands like Animal Slaves way back. His dubplates reflect a love and respect for the originators in Studio One and the other labs where dub began. His musical vision continues to grow with each new release, and he’s earned global respect wherever there are listeners who love dub. <br/> <br/>In 1997, he created the first Jericho dub sessions at the Festival and 10 years later he’s back for another chapter. <br/> <br/>Big Bass Theory is some of the heaviest local BC dub sounds you’ll experience. Based on Saltspring Island and led by Sean ‘SirBassa’ Hill, Big Bass Theory is rooted in solid riddims with serious bass frequencies. Full of soaring horns, steady bubble and skank, their music uplifts the soul with positive sound and vibrations with a defininte dancehall feel and reggae groove. <br/>Last year they were part of the biggest dub ever dropped in this town, shaking the foundations together with pioneering dub poets Lillian Allen and Clifton Joseph, Austria’s Dubblestandart, MC Jacob Cino and many other special guests. Everyone was shaking…and stirred. <br/> <br/>Coming to you live and direct from The Plaza Nightclub on Granville Street. Some of the heaviest dub vibes this city has ever seen. <br/> <br/>DubRising is just the beginning of the Festivals’ new chapter of Dub. The rhythm continues Saturday and Sunday at the Festival, with two big dub jams each day. With so many singers and players in the park and that festival vibe on the thing, there’s no telling who will be jamming with whom. <br/> <br/>The Festival has always been a champion of value for your music money. At Jericho Beach Park, eight stages bring you more than 250 hours of live music to choose from in two and a half days, including more sets each day by each of these Sound Systems. <br/> <br/>Visit www.thefestival.bc.ca for tickets and for more information about this year’s Vancouver Folk Music Festival. <br/> <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverfolkmusicfestival">** Vancouver Folk Music Festival **</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>A Night of Ska &amp; Reggae at The Yale Launches Festival Weekend <br/> <br/> <br/>Event: Van.Folk Music Festival Kick Off Party with Jamaica To Toronto at The Yale <br/>Date: Thursday, July 12, 2007 <br/>Time: 9 pm <br/>Venue: The Yale (1300 Granville Street) <br/>Tickets: $20 (plus service charges) online right here and $23 <br/>(plus services charges in person at Zulu Records and Highlife Records. <br/> <br/>Come and join the fun as the Vancouver Folk Music Festival kicks off their festival weekend with a special night at The Yale on Thursday July 12th featuring the group Jamaica to Toronto and DJ sets by Sipreano (aka Kevin Howes). An intimate and interactive performance by Jamaican legends of the reggae, deep soul and R &amp; B scene, get ready to dance and groove the night away in one of Vancouver's best live rooms. <br/> <br/>Jamaica to Toronto is a collection of singers, songwriters and musicians from Jamaica and the West Indies schooled in reggae, ska and rocksteady, who in the mid 1960's immigrated to Canada searching for better living situations than those they had left behind. Upon their arrival they did what came naturally to them. One by one, they hit the studio and captured some of the hardest tunes this side of Kingston, released independently on 45's and LPs. This influx of exceptional musical talent from Jamaica to Toronto gave rise to a booming soul/R&amp;B club scene that continued to thrive through the early 70s despite the general indifference of commercial radio, television and major labels. <br/> <br/>Several decades later, Matt Sullivan, owner of Seattle label Light in the Attic and DJ / Journalist Kevin Howes (aka Sipreano, went on a mission of crate digging and exhaustive research, to rediscover these musical legends and reunite them together on stage. The album Jamaica to Toronto: Soul Funk and Reggae 1967-1974, was released last year followed by their first reunion sold out show at Toronto's Harbourfront Centre. <br/> <br/>The Vancouver Folk Music Festival is pleased to present them at this year's festival, their first Western Canadian performance.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverfolkmusicfestival">** Vancouver Folk Music Festival **</a> - 0 replies </div>

Miss Bliss (the Festival’s programming &amp; marketing associate) who will be starting the night off playing a myriad of delectable sonic delights. <br/> <br/>A BWB night isn’t complete without a dazzling dance performance and for this night United Bhangra, who performed on Friday night of the Festival, will be there showing us the moves. Also a special live performance by BPM- bhangra mixed with hip hop spoken word. <br/> <br/>And lastly, the stars themselves ... Nils, Lady Ra, and Tarun. <br/> <br/>Come on out and celebrate the work that Beats without Borders has brought to the Vancouver massive!
