HE FIRST concert ina

series to benefit the

cash-strapped
Vancouver Museum sees
doe-eyed Vancouver pop
waif Sarah McLachlan in
concert July 24 at Vanier
Park.

The bill, beginning at 2:30
p.m., is rounded out with two
other promising up-and-coming
Canadian acts, Toronto’s Lost
and Profound, and 19-year-old
Nova Scotian fiddler Ashley
Macisaac.

The Sunflower Sundays con-
cert series is sponsored by
VanCity and produced by the
museuni's executive committee
with help from Sam Feldman and
Community Box Offices head
Umeeda Switlo of Nerth
Vancouver.

The museum is celebrating its
100th anniversary this year, but it
is by no means in good shape as
it clocks its second century. it
has lost federal funding and
some civic money.

And there’s also a little prob-
lem with profile. Switlo said peo-
ple generally don’t know where
to find it (the museum is housed
inside the Planetarium at Vanier
Park in Kitsilano).

The affair promises to be a
genteel one with gourmet picnic
meals available on-site.
Transplanted sunflowers will be
complemented with sunflower
paintings by North Vancouver
artist Arnold Shives.

The artists has also worked up
a sunflower T-shirt to support the
benefit event.

The North Shore mountains
will provide the backdrop for the
concert.

There’s room for 5,000 people
at the concert site.

McLachlan, a former Nova
Scotian, is currently doing well

RECORD REVIEW

with her most recent release
Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.

Macisaac, much-lauded as a
fiddling wonder, is well-placed
to make a run at stardom given a
popular trend favoring all things
Celtic.

World-beat traveller Paul
Simon recently feli upon
Maclsaac. The fiddler appears on
an album of Edie Brickell,
Simon's wife.

Following an appearance at
this year’s Music West confer-
ence in Vancouver, Maclsaac
was scooped up by A&M
Records.

The Cape Breton musician
plays a style of music with roots
in Scotland. Trak Media enter-
tainment doyenne Sorelle
Saidman likens the aural effect to
Don Messer’s Jubilee meeting the
Clash.

Tickets for the second concert
of the series are also on sale.

Bruce Cockburn headlines a
bill along with Barney Bentall
and the Legendary Hearts.
Bentall is promised to put in an
unplugged acoustic set.

The second show is set for
Sunday, Aug. 28, at Vanier Park.

Free parking is available at the
nearby Molson Brewery site.
Shuttle service is available to the
park.

Tickets may be purchased
through Community Box Offices
by calling 280-2801.
