Mariposa & Gord
Just added to the concert line up this week is a slot Sunday evening with Gord’s band; Rick Haynes, Barry Keane, Carter Lancaster and Mike Heffernan, on the main stage. There is no indication who will do the singing and MFF president Pam Carter said they’re keeping that secret. I got the impression there might be more than one person joining the band to sing.
Also it’s advisable to get there before the 5 p.m. main stage start on Friday instead of straggling in because the first set is The Way We Feel: A Lightfoot Celebration. Normally the folks at Mariposa pull some late nights coming up with the titles for the daytime side stage performances, but this time they just used the one Jory Nash, David Newland and Aengus Finnan used for their 15 year Hugh’s Room annual event.
Jory put the band together featuring Burke Carroll, Jason Fowler, Anne Lindsay, David Matheson & David Woodhead. The roster of people joining to do the singing includes Matthew Barber, Lori Cullen, Dala, The Good Brothers, Meredith Moon, and Kevin Fox. David Newland will be the MC of the set.
There are two other opportunities to enjoy musicians doing Gord’s tunes. On Saturday at 5 p.m. on the Village Stage Steve Porter, Scott Thomas, Michael Martyn will lead a sing-a-long, and Sunday Steve Porter, Scott Thomas, Geoff Booth will do a repeat set at the same time and stage.
