Prince George and home

We fly home tomorrow morning from here in Prince George. The first ever folk fest in PG was a big success and I was very proud of the community here, who I have come to know and love. It was good to hang out with Bruce Cockburn and Janis Ian again and it was wonderful to have them at the very first folk festival in this ‘out of the way’ town.The setting was beautiful and I’m sure they will go from strength to strength in future years..good for them. Well done Jo Beattie and all your team. We had a great week here staying with friends and doing a lot of cool stuff. Golfing, floating own the river, helicopter rides were all on the menu along with great company. I feel so at home in this community and its hard to leave. Home is home and always will be, but I always feel like I leave a part of me behind here in Canada. Maybe its so I can go back and pick it up. That I will do, but in the meantime I’m grateful to everyone who listens to the music here and keep asking me back. This has been another wonderful trip, and i have met some great musicians and made new friends..so worthwhile. So home to the UK, pick up the reigns and play a few festivals including Greenbelt. Then it’s back over here though mainly the U.S. for the second half of September. I haven’t written a song this year and that’s not good. I find it hard to write on the road and that’s where I live right now. Have plenty of ideas though, but not the space in which to paint.
