Flat festivities

I feel like I should apologize to the horrible Westfest weather after Friday's deluge, but nah - it still stunk. Sunday at Westfest wasn't so bad, but there's something about overcast the weather that damps my concert-going fervour. That doesn't seem to affect the concert-performing fervour of the two bands I caught way back on June 12, though. The Flats put on a set with plenty of oomph.

But first, DJ CPI fills in the between-band moments.



Then it's time for band-introducing action with CBC host Alan Neal.



On to The Flats, starting with drummer Matthew Young.



Michael Peterson strums.



Hollowbody action with Greg Brayford!



Rob Commins shakes it.



Greg sings!



Always keep one on the guitar, that's my motto.



Steve Jurgitis handles percussion, and occasionally trades places with Matthew.



Michael shakes his stuff.



Also on hand, Jack Pelletier of Battle of Ontario fame.



Hollering action!



Rob rocks the mandolin!



Steve takes the djembe out for a stroll.



The whole lot!



Steve takes a turn behind the kit.



More Jack'n'Greg.



Rob rocks the semi-hollowbody.



Take that, cymbal!



Harmonica time!



Singalong action!



And that's that for now.
