Comical epilogue:

I was told by people I trust implicitly that "at this meeting of all the festivals" the producer of Windsor sat mute, not saying a word when asked what the performers thought of her festival...

It is interesting to note that this years event has been reduced to a musical act, a magician Keith Brown (only doing one Show), an animal show (not a show but an educational show & tell) and Second City (not sure if they are connected to The Second City in Toronto).

Keith Fields is prominantly displayed but yet seems to be absent from the schedule.

Up until last night, last year's roster was still pictured (Wayne Tellier, Guy Collins and Knotty Bits). The schedule for this year wasn't up until the last minute as it was (even though it was advertised on the site to be available on the Monday before

And to top it off, the local media has been contacting local performers asking about this forum thread.

Not sure what the future holds for the Windsor Busker Festival but hoping for something akin to the old days.

Any word on how it went this year?

All I heard was that with the heat, it was put indoors at the amouries downtown. Not sure how that would work with building an edge (I assume pretty difficult to catch passerby's attention).
