    In May, 2020, the NLFAS announced the cancellation of the 44th Annual Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival in light of the global

    Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival has been the premiere summer
    cultural event to celebrate the province¹s music, dance and
    storytelling traditions, regularly drawing thousands of participants.

    Like so many other festivals and public events across the globe,
    the organizers of the Festival were disappointed by the cancellation,
    but quickly began work on alternate programming.

    The Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival 2020 Digital Edition
    presented by Equinor is a weekly online series that will feature a
    variety of music, story, dance and more, available to viewers across
    the globe free of charge.

    What weekend? The shows will be every Thursday starting next
    Thursday, and probably will be available for streaming after
    the live broadcast as well. And this folk festival is a major
    festival with generally about 20,000 attendees, and with
    both strong local performers and some good imports.

    It sounds as if he who calls himself 'docdwarf' was simply making
    a weak attempt at being facetious.

    Well-observed. Sometimes (crowd roar: 'SOMETIMES?') my various jokes,
    jests, japes and gibes can be miniscule to the point of unnoticeable.

    I watched this last night and, like the previous episodes, enjoyed it
    very much.

    I left a comment on YouTube against your first video, not realising
    that the recording was going to disappear from public view.

    In case nobody at NFLFolk saw it, my comment was words to the effect
    that I think that what you are all doing is brilliant, I love the
    spirit behind it all and I have been enjoying the episodes very much.

    In a good year I might have been enjoying one or more folk festivals
    in Canada (hope to make it to yours one day). In an ordinary year I
    would be at home in Dear Old Blighty. However, in yet another Covid-19
    tale, I am currently in Argentina, quite content where I am but unable
    easily to leave until the transport systems eventually open up again,
    so looking forward to each new episode of your Digital Folk Festival
    as it arrives is a special pleasure for me.

    Thank you,

    Nick
