One of the things I love about festivals in Canada and the United States is there is usually a large coverage of events in particular, by professional online music websites who send their best photographers and reviewers to write some wonderful words and to take some gorgeous photographs of all the artists and musicians attending.
My favourites from the whole month were the collection of photographs taken by Sean Sisk who was invited by Alan Doyle to record one of his performances from the unique position of being backstage. These gorgeous photographs were circulated on social media by Sean and Alan. For those people interested in fabulous photographs of musicians and artists they should take a look at Sean’s official webpage.
Some concerts and festivals such as those in Vancouver were attended by a number of Canadian and American fans who took some wonderful photographs. They have been shared on fan sites such as the Great Big Sea Online Kitchen Party on Facebook and by Alan Doyle on his official Twitter and Instagram accounts. Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies also shared some of their experiences and travels on their official social media accounts.
The images are from the official social media accounts of those where the screen shots were taken. No copyright infringement intended. The Alan Doyle tweets are from his official Twitter account. No copyright infringement intended.
So off we go…
Harvest Picnic Music Festival
Alan Doyle@alanthomasdoyle Grand times @HarvestPicnicCA Thanks so much. 28 August 2016.
Jann Arden, a Canadian singer and musician and good friend of Alan Doyle withdrew from the Harvest Festival due to illness. On social media Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies wished her a speedy recovery and much love from bus. Alan offered to sing some Jann Arden tunes for all the disappointed fans. True to his word sang one of Jann’s songs Good Mother. The song was bootlegged and circulated on social media. I have circulated a copy of the video on my Google + page.
The Aesthetic online music magazine published a great collection of photographs from day of the Harvest Picnic that included singer Jim Cuddy from Blue Rodeo, Alan Doyle and Joel Plaskett. There were 10 gorgeous photographs of Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies Todd Lumley and Kendel Carson. The photographs were by Orest Dorosh.
