Host, Arts Club Revue July 29 10:30 pm Folk Festival comin' to town Better not pout, or even cry, just head to Jericho by Jason Kurylo The 17th Annual Vancouver Folk Music Festival is coming to Jericho Beach Park this July, and with over 200 performers from nearly 20 countries, it promises to live up to its reputation as “the greatest folk festival on earth.” (Bob Haddad, Music of the World Records) The Festival runs rain or shine, and seating is on the grass, so bring a blanket or a beach chair*, and dress accordingly! (Bring your sunblock or your gumboots, depending...) For those in doubt, please know that folk music is a lot more than the lone guitarist waxing Dylanesque; that’s just one facet of a fascinating genre, which spans South Asian bhangra, Celtic bands, Mississppi blues, mandolin vir-tuosos, and much, much more. Tickets for the entire weekend are $84 for adults, $50 for youths 13-18, and $10 for the wee ones. Individual day passes are available, as well. For adults, pay just $26 for the Friday night concert, or $39 for either Saturday or Sunday. Youths are hit up for $18 for Friday, and $20 for Saturday or Sunday, while kids get in for only $5 on Saturday and Sunday. For the munchkins, Friday’s free! Outlets for the Vancouver Folk Festival include TicketMaster, Highlife Records (1317 Com-mercial Drive), and the Vancouver Folk Festival Main Office, located at 3271 Main Street.
