Music lover Often, Debbie says, “I have to emcee a show, or take tickets or serve food. We have to do whatever we have to do.” Sometimes, at a late-night, post-show jam, she will add her own guitar to the melee of instruments. “I’ve played guitar for years, as a church youth leader, around campfires and with youth groups. I play guitar in a rock band at church. It’s great for mental health. Some people cook, some people garden—I like music,” she says. When the PEI Mutual Festival of Small Halls begins, “I’m just a cog in the wheel,” Debbie insists, but she laughs, “I’ve been a constant cog—I’m the only original cog left. “Every year for the festival, we have to hire new staff, and they are often 20- somethings with not a lot of knowledge of traditional music, Debbie says.

  • Quartette - Biography
    Quartette - Biography While Quartette’s catalog is filled with commendable recordings, its sixth album “Down At The Fair” is unquestionably its finest work. Ambitious, and stylistically wide-ranging, “Down At The Fair” began its evolution with a meeting of Quartette members—Cindy Church, Caitlin Hanford, Gwen Swick, and Sylvia Tyson—in early 2007. After evaluating the lode of original songs they had for the project, they decided to work within a grittier context than they had traditionally done. They also decided to bring in guitarist/producer Colin Linden—a long-time friend of each—to helm the project. Over a three decade career, Nashville-based Canadian Linden has been involved in creating a memorable body of classic roots and blues recordings, whether as a producer, a solo artist, or as a member of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. In recent years, he has produced such musical figures as Bruce Cockburn, Paul Reddick, Colin James, Sue Foley, and Lennie Gallant. While Quartette trusted Linden’s instincts, and knew they’d appreciate his musical meticulousness, as well as his signature electric and country blues guitar playing, they also wanted him to probe to its limits any musical idea that appealed to them. “Something I addressed with Colin was the importance of players digging in —not playing as if they're playing with girls,” says Sylvia. “We're not that delicate.” Still brimming with enthusiasm over the sessions at the Woodshed Studio in Toronto, and at The Rendering Plant in Nashville, Caitlin says, “We were up for a new adventure.” She adds, “We knew with Colin we weren’t going to get a slick record.

  • Matthew Capel Thesis 18 September 2007
    'Damned If They Do And Damned If They Don't': The Inferiority Complex, Nationalism, and Maclean's Music Coverage, 1967-1995 By Gordon Matthew Donald Capel A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2007 © Gordon Matthew Donald Capel 2007 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as required by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis critically analyses music coverage in Maclean’s between 1967-1995, and reveals that the magazine continually stressed Canadian music as inferior to that produced by foreign artists. Only during times of intense nationalism were Canadian musicians positively received in its pages. More generally, domestic productions were seen as deficient. The historical components of this investigation reveal an essential irony in the perception of Canadian music during the last four decades of the 20th century. Despite nationalist rhetorics and Maclean's self-appointed title of "Canada's National Newsmagazine," its critics consistently emphasised that Canadian music was of poor quality in the 1967-1995 period. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to all those wonderful people who helped me complete this thesis. First, I must applaud my thesis advisor P. Whitney Lackenbauer for his motivation, discerning eye, and willingness to tell me when something wasn't history. For this confused, stubborn, and excitable grad student, your support cannot be overstated.

  • Issue Number 19 February 1997
    Gavin’s Woodpile – The Bruce Cockburn Newsletter Edited by Daniel Keebler Issue Number 19 February 1997 The following interview was conducted in London with Bruce Cockburn on December 10, 1996, by Richard Hoare for the release of The Charity of Night album. Richard Hoare (RH) : In order to set the scene for the new album, please can you briefly describe your move to a new record label. Bruce Cockburn (BC) : Outside of Canada, when we parted with Columbia/Sony, there were several candidates under consideration. Ryko seduced me the best. It’s off to a really good start and the whole experience so far is very positive. It feels a lot more comfortable to be with a label that understands what to do with artists that don’t get radio play. The big liability with Columbia was that although they had all the muscle which in the States worked well for us, they still didn’t know what to do if you were not on the radio. Anyway, there’s been a change and we’re moving forward. RH : Has there been a positive decision to reintegrate jazz into your work with this album because I recall a quote of yours at about the time of Nothing But a Burning Light to the effect that there was a conscious decision at that point to omit jazz from the material. BC : It was more a case that in that period, and to a lesser degree with Dart to The Heart, that I made a conscious decision to keep it (jazz) out but as soon as I took down that little iron curtain, it came back in.
