PtboPics: The Sadies, Andy Maize of Skydiggers and Devin Cuddy (Jim's son) at Gordon Best Theatre

Last night, Gordon Best Theatre (above the Only Café) was closed down for a private party and PtboCanada was there. Among the bands performing to the packed crowd were Peterborough's Magpie, The Sadies (first pic below) and Andy Maize of Skydiggers (second pic below, standing, far left on mic), who performed a stripped down set of songs, including "I Will Give You Everything". Alongside Andy on guitar was none other than Devin Cuddy (second and third pic below), the son of Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy. It was quite a night.

The Peterborough Folk Festival Was a Hit!

There were lots of shady spots to throw a towel down and listen to Kate LeDeuce After a sold-out show at a special opening night event on Friday night, Peterborough Folk Festival had a fantastic turnout on Saturday during their full day of events.

The 'learning to drum' stage turned into quite a gathering

There were numerous vendors, including a Hula-hooping workshop

And here's The McFlies covering "Sunglasses at Night" at PFF:
