Folk Oasis Episode February 3, 2010
Broadcast on 03-Feb-2010
8:00pm - 10:00pm
We pay tribute to Oscar Brand, Winnipeg native & dj of world's longest-running radio show (it's folk!), who turns 90 this Sunday. Bob Marley, if he were still with us, would have turned 65 this weekend, so we pay tribute to him as well. At 8:30 we had a phone chat with Robbie Slade of local folk-electro duo Humans. They're performing at the New Forms Festival this weekend, a Cultural Olympiad event.
February's here, folks - only 9 days until the Winter Olympics commence. Can you feel it?
remain calm,
