Miramichi Folksong Festival
Канада
Добавлен 12 июл 2020
"Dr. Manny's Legacy Lives On." - Featuring 2 'virtual' days of authentic, traditional, and contemporary music for the whole family!
The Miramichi Folksong Festival is rooted in the tradition of ballads which told the stories of the times; often they narrated daily life, but they also included newsworthy events. Many of the authors and singers of these ballads worked as fisherman, or in the logging camps. In the late 1950’s, Lord Beaverbrook sent Louise Manny, the town of Newcastle’s first librarian, an expensive recording machine with the request that she go out into the community and record the songs of the day. Dr. Manny founded the Miramichi Folksong Festival, and created yet another opportunity to showcase many of the talented folks she had met on her recording ventures.

I miss the Irish Fest & the Folksong Fest. Party on the Chi is like no other party! (moved to Alberta 30 yrs ago but part of my heart rests on the Miramichi!) Love Brian & Kevin!
Agreed, it fits the Miramichi Irish history, and pays respect to the men who built our little slice of blackfly ridden paradise that only we can love… growing up on the rivers and living off the woodlands we grow up on isn’t for everyone, it takes a special type of character..
You bring back the memories I have of my dad and siblings, playing our music. Greatest music ever..it's always ..alive...love it.
Remember Gerry from The George and The Clipper. County Down. N.Ireland. Hello from Big Davy , Gerry!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like so much your music, its fantastic !!! Thank you !!! 😊😊😊
Very enjoyable
Beautiful voice Beautiful man ❤❤❤
Wonderful music; would someone please post the titles of the tunes?
New Brunswick Waltz, North Shore Breakdown, New Brunswick Hornpipe, Carleton County Breakdown.
Stumbled upon this gem, never heard you guys perform this one yet. Great job!
Good job
Beautiful!
Thank you so much! What a lovely recollection and comment:) I hope to see you at one festival, or the other, or both! Cheers, Melanie
I remember hearing you sing 'How are things in Glocca Morra' when you were so young. When I heard the original recording of it, I said, 'Melanie does it better.' You still have a stellar voice
Well I go hear your music when feeling low. Always leave on a high! Thanks to you both for these great performances!
love it!
That’s my aunt! 🥰
I'm a big fan of your music! Can you tell me the names of all the tunes?
New Brunswick Waltz, North Shore Breakdown, New Brunswick Hornpipe, Carleton County Breakdown.

My dad listened to Ivan Hicks and Don Messer records all the time. Hearing these songs after so long really makes me miss those days. He passed away in November of 1988, 34 years this year. RIP dad, we love you and I miss you listening to this music while I was growing up.
A beautiful tribute. My dad, John Preston, survived this tragedy.
The NB life in 10,000 fiddle tunes. Love your music so much!! Thanks a million.
