LAST YEAR'S WINTERFOLK II WAS A HIT:
The second Winterfolk Event in February 2005 was highly successful to bring a
music festival to the Heart of Toronto in the middle of winter. Hundreds of
festival-starved music lovers walked from club to club, and from stage to stage,
at the corner of College and Spadina, for three days in February to see over 70
musicians in 45 bands in 5 clubs. What a great diversion from the depths of
winter! And, the artists were thrilled and energetic to be there, and many are
returning to play again this year. Plus, lots of new names have been added to
the line up, and more will be signed in the days ahead - including a few
surprises.
