A FASCINATING VIDEOTAPE


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.
