as Simpson likes to call them,
Kate and Anna McGiurrigle
and Jane Siberry, provide
enticement for those seeking
aname act us a drawing card.

The festival's enduring
strength remains its conumit-
ment to taking risks and
exposing its audience to the
unknown.

“These days it's one of the
prime functions of the festi-
val. People have less time,
less money. We try and
expose people to a whole lot
of things they wouldn’ t ordi-
narily run into,” said
Simpson.

Local talent tike Kinny
Stare and Zolty Cracker will
be making a new batch of
friends, for example,

There's a hot Celtic lineup
that includes Ireland's Sharon
Shannon, fron Horse and

Dick Gaughan from Scotland.

A world of sound comes
to town with artists from
across Canada, India, the
Basque country, fran and
Morocco,

The festival kicks off
Friday night. Seven stages go
live all day Saturday and
Sunday.

Simpson's focus for this
year’s show is simple: fun. “T
want people to have a good
lime when they go there. A
lot of people talk about the
politics of the festival, but
when you look at it there are
only a few performers there
each year who are capital P
political performers.”

Pan-cultusal party conceit
aside, there ate definite folk
festival factions within the
audience an artistic ‘director
must consider. “I think Gary
used to break it down into
about four or five different
categories,” Simpson related.

“There were the tradition-
al people, they want to hear
the music that was played
150 years ago. He was
always very conscious about

~ the women who came to the

festival, wanting to rnuke
sure there was a sizable rep-

resentation of women artists.
Then there were the people
who liked the surprises. the
people from away that no one
had ever heard live in this
part of the world. Thea there
was the political contingent.
muke sure that here was stuff
for them.”

Simpson spent a lot of
time over the winter reading

He found that people are

but a lot of people just want

it does on paper, a full body

BC Ferries and Catamaran Ferries International Inc. (CFI) would like to thank you for
your patience during the noisy “deep dynamic compaction” process, an important step:
in the construction of the new fast ferry assembly facility.

You will be glad to know that the work now being carried out at our Pier 94 site is
proceeding on schedule, and will be wrapped up during the week of July 22nd. We
will continue to restrict compaction to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.

This project is exempt from the review of provincial capital expenditures since it is
legatly committed.

Construction of the fast ferry facility is scheduled to be finished by mid-September.
it will help revitalize the North Shore’s marine and shipbuilding industries, offering
a unique opportunity for British Columbians to compete in the world market.

For more information about the fast ferry program, call (604) 681-5373.
