Folk Primary

~The Vancouver Folk Mu-
sic Festival album. There
was something else in the
air (besides the marijuana
smoke) on those three in-
credible days in July that
was the Vancouver Folk
Festival, this past summer.

There was the pure voices
of accapela, the touching
-sometimes biting- voices of
folk, and finally the busy
whirr of a portable 16 track
recording studio.

For those of you who
missed that ‘‘something in
the air’’, and for those who
hadn’t, the ‘‘Vancouver
Folk Music Festival’’, al-
:-bum is out. This is an
attempt to ‘“‘reflect the di-
versity of the festival’’, says
Gary Cristal, folk festival
coordinator.

From the smooth and
funky blues of the Original
Sloth Band & The Honolulu
Heartbreakers to the angry
sorrow of Holly Near’s Hayt

 

Una Mujer Desoprecida (a
woman has disappeared) to
the down homey bluegrass
of Berline, Crary & Hick-
man doing ‘‘Turkey in the
Straw’’, this album is com-
pletely representative of the
diversity of the festival’s
sounds.

Our local folk semi-legend
Ferron is also on the album
singing her highly personal

feeling.
present with Connie KAL-
DOR'‘S Jerks and Leon Ros-
solson’s, slightly feminist,
Boys Will Be Boys.

There is no way that any
record, film, or book can
ever capture the true, in-
credible feeling of joy one
gets from the folk festival
but this album is a real good
primer for next year’s'- and
a damn good collection of
music in it’s own right.

The album is available at
Black Swan Records, A & B
Sound, and Kelly’s on

Broadway.

Being students and ha-
ving to cope with tuition
hikes and the cost of exis-
tence, it’s probably not of-
ten that you get a chance to
go and dine at a fine
restaurant.

Well if the opportunity
arises, may I recommend a

restaurant of utmost excel-
lence.

B B Beltons, in case’ you
havent been there already,
is one of the finest and most
unique dining experiences
in the lower mainland.

Beltons offers a seven
page menu of dishes ran-
ging from peanut butter and
banana sandwiches, to spa-
nish paella. Each dish is
prepared in such a way that

each mouthfull is an orgasm
for the tastebuds.

The chefs at Beltons are
generous in preparing the
food so you come out full. If
your not stuffed after sea-
food fetacinni or a cheese
burger, then you’re a glut-
ten.

You'll find the drink and
wine lists complete and
each drink to your satis-
faction. The bartenders are

imaginative and accurate so
jyour drink is a taste extra-
‘vaganza in itself. The

glasses are of incredible
size depending on the drink
and I don’t think youll finda
better ceasar anywhere.

There is something for
everyone’s taste and no
matter what it is, you'll be

satisfied.

The bar and lounge make
for an ideal spot to sit and
have a couple of drinks so
you can go eat in the best of
spirits.

The’ decor is really quite
original and very comfor-
table. A sunken floor
surrounded by an upper
level, and the lounge is
separated from the actual
restaurant. The kitchen is

of open-grill design, so if

watching the chefs excites
you, then you’re in busi-
ness. You'll even find the
muzak tastefull. The ser-
vice is down to an art so,
need I say more? 5

Prices will not blow the
pocketbook and there are no
fancy frills to cover for
skimpy dishes, just plenti-
ful, unsimulated food.

B B Beltons is located on
Bainbridge at Lougheed in
Burnabyh, and be sure to
make reservations.
