Yoko Ono’s Imagine Peace Tower will be lit up tonight

October 9, 2018ByEvelyn C. White4 Comments

A relative newcomer to Nova Scotia, I’ve not yet visited Sydney. However, in addition to its fabled Big Fiddle, the city has loomed large in my reporter’s imagination because of John Lennon.

The Tideline, with Tara Thorne

The band Villages. They're four white men, who look like they could have been a band in the 70s. Two of them have long hair, two have short hair with mustaches or a beard. The photo is rather psychadelic, in vibrant colours, taken from above in a park with autumn leaves on the ground.

Episode 53 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.

The trad quartet Villages recorded and put out its debut EP, Upon the Horizon, in the midst of the pandemic and subsequently had its release show rescheduled twice. Since then they’ve already made a full-length but now is the time—specifically November 13 at the Marquee—to celebrate those songs. Matt and Travis Ellis—cousins, not brothers, as Tara learned live on air, after 15 years of writing about them—drop by to talk about the recording process, the ways they access the Celtic side of themselves, and how their indie-rock band Mardeen is not necessarily over.

Uncover: Dead Wrong

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.
