The Calgary Folk Music Festival’s annual Block Heater will become a virtual event for the first time, but still feature an eclectic lineup of indie artists from Calgary and other parts of Canada, America, Mexico and even a spotlight on Irish performers.
Now in its sixth year, the festival will run from Feb. 16 to 20 on “two digital stages.” The main stage will be on the Zoom platform and mix live and pre-recorded performances with pay-what-you-can access. The Festival Hall stage will be free and feature Calgary artists streamed live from the folk fest’s Inglewood-based headquarters.
Louise Moody feels a frisson of excitement as she gazes at the beautifully wrapped gift bearing her name beneath the Christmas tree.
For come Christmas morning she knows there ll be none of the old dread that her presents might be ill-fitting clothes, shoes she doesn t like, or even a vacuum cleaner like one a friend s husband once treated her to.
Because three years ago Louise, 47, put a stop to feigned delight. Now, opening her festive gifts is, she says, utterly thrilling.
Why? Because she buys them for herself and with some style. Her first to me, from me gift was a 1.78-carat aqua blue diamond and platinum ring costing £4,500 for Christmas 2017.
