I had an opportunity on Sunday evening to have a short conversation backstage at Summerfolk with Brenda Scott. Brenda is the president of the Georgian Bay Folk Society and Chair of the Summerfolk committee. We talk a bit about the festival this year including the new stages, the vital role of volunteers and how you can help to support the folk festival and society throughout the rest of the year.

The interview is around 10 minutes in length. You can listen with the player below or download it here (right click, save as)
