Recently we had the enormous pleasure and privilege of sharing the bill with the luminous, transcendent and very talented Loreena McKennitt, who performed with Brian Hughes on guitar/bouzouki and Caroline Lavelle on cello. Also on the bill, Trent Severn (comprised of trio Emm Gryner, Dayna Manning and Laura Bates), the incomparable Cedric Smith, Stratford's Islanados and the Stratford Central Singers, along with host and MC Barbara Budd. What a great line-up to be part of at Stratford's Knox Presbyterian Church in a fundraising concert for The 14th World Festival Of Children's Theatre.
This rare international children's event comes to North America for the first time, to Canada and Stratford, June 5 - 14, 2016. For more information on this festival click here: World Festival of Children's Theatre
After RMR kicked off the second set, Trent Severn joined us for a tune before we exited the stage.

RMR Photo Book
by Photographer Steve Bayne
Earlier this year, our perennial fan, docu-videographer, photographer and dear friend Steve Bayne, from Montreal, published a superbly presented pictorial book of Rant Maggie Rant in both hard cover and paperback covering more than an entire year (Frost & Fire 2012 to Frost & Fire 2013) in the life of the band, including our "Screeched In Tour" of Newfoundland in the summer of 2013.
The book is available at Steve's web-site here: Rant Maggie Rant Book
Check it out! Thanks Steve for your amazing work. We are so lucky to have you documenting us!

Facebook Success!
1,000 Likes Achieved.
Thanks to everyone who participated!
Recently we sent out invites for all of our friends and followers to "Like" our Facebook page. We were targeting 1,000 "likes" by the start of our 6th Annual Frost & Fire Tour, which starts in Guelph on Friday, November 28th. We needed about 250 likes, so we thought that was a lot. Within two days we over shot that goal and we are well on our way to 1200 "likes" in one week. So, if you have not come to the party and "liked" our page yet, please help us out! Click this link and just hit "Like". It's that simple. Our new goal is 2,000 by the end of the year! It will help us stay connected too!
These icons below allow you to share this newsletter via Facebook, Twitter or via email. Thanks for sharing!!

And finally we have come to the end of one of our longest newsletter ever - we are announcing the launch of our new website:
Please check it out, leave a message and tell us what you think!
www.RantMaggieRant.com
Thank you everyone for your ongoing and awesome support! We have mountains of gratitude for your support which has brought us to where we are now and what we have planned for the coming year and beyond. We hope to see each and every one of you somewhere on our journey forward. Let's get together for some collective toe-tapping! See you all soon!
Before we say good bye and before this day is over, we would like to send out our gratitude and remembrance to those who sacrificed their lives during and after the wars, for our freedoms and we stand with everyone and anyone who was touched by commemorations all over the world remembering those sacrifices made. They are not forgotten. Peace is the only way.
Your friends,
Lindsay, Glen & Barry (and honourary Ranters, Rob, Steve & Daev)
