Originally conceived as a small, very loosely organized jam

session area, the second

stage will became an in-

- tegral part of the festi—

vities. .Set in a more intimate, comfortable location, it will present featured performers from the main stage, as well

as lower profile artists‘who demonstrate particular specialties. The program will be scheduled according to various themes, and so far sessions include a mandolin set; a blues jam

' led by local blues artist

Ted Jordan; sea shanties; and a guitarist/vocalist session. A number of Acadian musicians are also expected to be featured, along with a session demon- strating the fiddle styles of P.E.I., Cape Breton, and Newfoundland. The second

stage is basically designed ‘

as a quieter alternative to the squeeze and excitement of the main stage.

"wandering minstrels" will again lead informal campfire entertainment; barbecues and homecooking will be offered in a newly—organized food concession area; and regional

r handcrafts will also be

available . Improvements are being

. effected in the area of traffic

and gate control, with a ' much enlarged staff to in— crease efficiency and de- crease line—ups and lengthy waits at the entrance. "We don't claim it'll be perfect," says Diamond, "'But last year's Friday night bogged- down gate situation gave

us a lot of ideas on how to speed things up. "

There's no doubt that the 1980 Atlantic Folk Festival has much to offer. With. the two stages going simultaneously, music will be pouring out all over, and, hopefully, a grand and glorious time will be had by all.
