****************************************************************
It’s a busy winter - I'm in the final recording stages for my ‘Étienne Brûlé’ album (en francais!), I’m researching and writing for my upcoming 1812 song-cycle, I’m preparing for shows out west as a substitute Arrogant Worm, and closer to home, am starting a once-a-month residency at Toronto’s The Rivoli with my and Murray Foster's alter-ego band, The Cocksure Lads. Crikey!
The Lads will hit the stage about 10pm each night, and the tickets are $10 at the door. And while we're speaking of The Cocksure Lads, it appears (drumroll....) a Cocksure Lads movie is in the works! For general gossip about that, video trailers, as well as info about the Kickstarter Rewards Campaign that you can join to help make the film a reality, check out the Cocksure Lads Movie.
100 Days That Changed Canada
MIke is one of the contributing writers to this fabulous new HarperCollins book, featuring pages by the likes of Charlotte Gray, Ken Dryden, Peter Mansbridge, Lawrence Hill, Old Man Luedecke and more.
The handsome hardcover is available at Chapters/Indigo, or straight from its creators at Canada's History Society.
Superb gift!

Listen to Mike's songs!
If you'd like to give a listen to some Mike Ford tracks, click here. That'll take you to a growing selection of Mike's recorded work. It's mostly just the audio with a still image (although Eastern Gap features a nice slide show of Seaway photos by Mike and David). Keep revisiting in the future, as the collection will soon include new unreleased songs, concert footage and more!
