Came across an interesting videotape of a country music
festival that was a fundraiser for IWK, a hospital for women and children in
Halifax, Nova Scotia. I am guessing by one of the songs they played the tape is
from the summer of 1998. It mainly features the now defunct Maritime Express.
It also includes the head of the festival’s closing remarks. At one point, the
band brought onstage a seven year old spoons player named Cody.
Interesting bits of conversation, people talking about
whether the camera angle was right, a wife offering to go and get her husband
coffee, kids talking about having money for the canteen, people making comments
about the music.
The festival took place in Sackville, New Brunswick with
mentions of Amherst, Nova Scotia, where some of the musicians were from.
