| Mitch Podalak, founder of the Winnipeg Folk Festival, the Home Routes house concert tour network and so much more, passed away last night.
He founded the Winnipeg Folk Festival in 1974. He went on to found the Vancouver Folk Festival and assisted in founding the Edmonton and Calgary folks festivals. He worked with Troy Greencorn to bring the Stan Rogers Folk Festival to life in Canso, Nova Scotia. He opened Barnswallow Records to support the career of Stan Rogers. From David Woodhead "Today, Mitch Podolak has passed away. I see him as one of the people who built the world as I know it. The world of music for the people, of folk festivals, independent recordings, and small scale but sustainable house concerts. A visionary, and I'm glad I live, at least partly, in that vision." From Kev Corbett "I so wasn't done with Mitch Podolak. We made friends at an OCFF conference, when the ECMA was sponsoring a stage and I saw my friend Mickey Quase drag him in by the beard, and I only knew him by reputation, so I sang the leftiest Fuck The Man song I had, at the end of which there he was, back of the room, right fist in the air. He later belly-bumped me in the corridor and said, 'That wiz fuckin' fabulous', which is still, coming from him, one of the most validating moments I've ever had. Over the years, I'd always drop in on him when I was in my favourite town. It always went until I worried if I'd wear out my welcome. We ate Chinese food, we gossiped, we ranted, he told a million stories, occasionally punctuated by phone calls that would come in, he leaning back in his chair, one leg crossed, one arm hanging over his head, staring off. The last time we hung, he and Ava took me for a drive to go look at this giant flock of egrets(?) that they loved and when we went to go eat at a diner later on, somebody was like Um yes Mr Podolak, we've just roasted a turkey and he's like, 'Give me the skin.' So many have been sharing stories just like this. He was the kind of dude who saw you, he believed with every inch of his soul in you, he delighted in good time and good people and good food and music's intrinsic worth as a thing that people need. I owe him so, so much. Love to everyone else left reeling by this loss. Be good to each other." Our hearts go out to his wife, Ava, his son, Leonard, and everyone else who knew him, who benefitted from his great vision and who now walks in his world. |

Bisghetti Nights Last year Mikhail and his wife had the idea of getting a bunch of creative people together for some great food, drinks and good company. The intention was to firstly create COMMUNITY by connecting with like-minded individuals. Specifically those who want to GROW in their craft. This is for all you musicians, songwriters, visual artists, poets, photographers, actors, videographers, inventors, singers, those in media, business people etc. It doesn’t matter if you’re pro or just starting out. This is a place to meet new like-minded people, to make friends, network and get excited about your skills, gifts and talents. Its also a space where we can all discuss and create new ways to form a strong arts community in Ottawa. We run a monthly dinner party hosted by anyone who is part of this group and is keen to host and we will be running a creative/jam night every other month. If you know someone else that you think would be interested feel free to invite them along to this group. Bisghetti Nights September 26th 2019 The Thirsty Maiden, Kanata |
