Lauren Mann and the fairly odd folk

Look as good as they sound. Fairy tale folk pop

The F holes

Rocking ragtime band. From Winnipeg. Definitely worth checking out.!

Too much stuff

D'arcy

Went to a ping pong bar owned by Susan Sarandon, with D'arcy who I know from Australia. He's travelling across Canada to raise money to end Polio. Great to meet someone so selfless. An inspiration.

Mary

My wonderful host! A fellow englander who relocated to Toronto many years ago. She looks after children with autism, so having me around is no problem.

Gangstagrass

Hiphop bluegrass from Brooklyn. Wicked!

Rooftop gig

Nxne

I had a good first night in nxne, wandering around and seeing bands. This guy steve hill was on fire. Guitar and bass drum. Wicked blues riffs. I need a bicycle though. The venues are only in one corner of the downtown, but that corner is 5by5km at least.

Zombies vs robots exhibit

Zombie killer

Something for my nephew Oscar

That's service

A room with a view

Two years since I was here last. They've built a few more skyscrapers since then.
