Playlist Live From The Eleventh Heaven: Turktronica, Fiddles Unfurling, and The Dark Prince of Reggae

The landing craft pictured has returned me from Planet Manhattan with loads of new music and a phone connection with Rich Aucoin early in the show, so be aware of the exact 11:00 tune-in time and syncopate your watches. There will be ample floor space available for space dancing gravity free when  Emilyn Stam and Anne Lederman of EH?! ( CFMA Instrumental Group of the Year nominees ) arrive at 11:30, fiddles unfurled.

In celebration of the U. of T.'s Artist In Residence, Pura Fe, there will be a free concert by this remarkable musician at Wlter Hall Saturday night at 7:30 in Walter Hall. I will be featuring some of her music.


My very favourite Turkish electronica band Minor Empire will be sending in Ozgu and Ogan Boz for a 12:30 return visit to the Orbit, heralding their CFMA nomination for World Group of the Year.

F.Y.I. : The seventh annual Canadian Folk Music awards gala will take place at the Isabel Bader Theatre, 93 Charles Street West, Toronto, Ontario.
