Urban Tapestry and Franklin concert at FilKONtario!

Just found out it's okay to announce this: Urban Tapestry is going to be performing at FilKONtario in Toronto (Mar.31-Apr.2nd) in a joint concert with Frank ("Franklin") Gunkelmann, woohoo! This is our only confirmed public performance this year, and we're SO looking forward to it.

We had much fun in Germany with Franklin; see Allison's LJ entry. Our FKO concert will be partly Franklin, partly Urban Tapestry, and partly Urban Franklin (Franklin Tapestry? Other suggestions for our joint group name welcome!).

Thanks to the FilKONtario convention committee for this fun opportunity. Do consider coming to FKO if you haven't already, else you'll miss some great fun and music. AND a great line-up of guests:

CHRIS CONWAY. I raved about him in a past Blathering. Unbelieveably talented, Chris is a full-time musician living in the UK and plays more instruments (and plays them WELL) than anyone else I know. He has recorded over 30 CDs. Urban Tapestry did some back-up on his "Alien Salad Abduction" CD. More info and soundclips on his Web site.
TANYA HUFF. Author of numerous sf/fantasy novels including Smoke and Mirrors (came out from DAW last year), The Novels of Crystal series, Blood series, Keeper's Chronicles series, Quarters series, others. Tanya is now hooked on filking (yay!). I love her Pervy Hobbit song.

JUDI MILLER. Judi's signing has enhanced many filk performances in the past (both funny and serious); I was delighted to hear she was going to be an Interfilk guest at FKO! Judi is a teacher of the deaf in Columbus, OH.


You can find out more about the convention at the official FilKONtario Web site.
