The Maple Leaf Revolution - Programme 2, 20 Nov 2005

£40.00

In the first part of the Maple Leaf Revolution, we heard about the development of Canadian music as a world force…the influence of Hank Snow, the arrival of Ronnie Hawkins, the wonderful coffee house music scene of the late 60’s and the emergence of Canadian Folk artists like Gordon Lightfoot and Bruce Cockburn.

We heard about the way the Cowboy Junkies and the Barenaked Ladies paved the way for Canada’s truly exciting Indie music scene and we heard about Factor, the body that’s helping to fund a fantastic new generation of Canadian musicians…people like Kathleen Edwards, Pilate, Arcade Fire, Luke Ducett, the Dears, the Stills and the Trews.
