High praise indeed from a beacon of Canadian songcraft. Thanks Maria.
Pleasance Courtyard at Edinburgh Fringe was mobbed last night. So many shows, so many people, so much hustling and bustling. Good luck to all the performers and companies. Hope I get a crowd at the Ukrainian Centre tonight.
Edinburgh Fringe - some of the shows coming up. I’m there on Sunday evening.

Edinburgh next week!
