Lastly, the North By North East web site (www.nxne.com) has been updated to include all the names of this year’s performers. Many great Canadian
and International artists will be playing over the course of the festival’s
three days. If anyone has the opportunity to make it to the festival in Toronto I urge you to do so as it is a fun and inexpensive way to be
exposed to a lot of great talent.
