Welcome

Welcome to the NTIF 2014 website. Sorry, but we're not quite ready for folks yet, however we are hard at work making preparations. We have already completed negotiations with our headline bands and will be posting the list before long. I can tell you that topping the bill will be Natalie MacMaster and hubby Donnell Leahy in a variety of combinations including Natalie and Donnell teamed up with pianists Mac Morin and Erin Leahy to present a show that is completely different from typical Natalie MacMaster or Leahy shows that reflects the musicality of these two pairs of performers.

We can also tell you that we listen to your inputs and are bringing back The Town Pants from Vancouver - The Trinity River Whalers borrowed Mr Valentine's Dead from these guys. What is it with all these excellent Canadian bands?

Local and Regional Performers, Storytellers and Dancers

Local and Regional performers may now apply BY EMAIL to the Performer Coordinator no later than September 15, 2013. Applications should include a bio, recent sample CD (if we don't aready have your latest), 8.5 x 11 photo or jpg images, website address and email address. Note that for 2014 we require notification of any lineup changes, and reserve the right to remove the band from consideration. Any lineup changes up to the time of the performance must be agreed to in writing and may result in any contract being terminated.

Storytellers should follow the same process and schedule, directing their application to the Entertainment Director.

Dance schools will be contacted later in the year. Any dance group that has not performed at NTIF and would like to be considered should contact the Entertainment Director.

Email addresses can be found on the Contacts page.
