This year’s Winnipeg Folk Festival was an exceptionally good one. On today’s program we talk with a couple of the best “new” discoveries of the festival, Gregory Alan Isakov and Hoots & Hellmouth. Plus, NQ Arbuckle is coming, and that’s always reason to celebrate. Speakin’ of celebrations, Lucy’s getting hitched on the weekend, and we’ve got some wedding/love songs to send her on her way.
