Exclusive Excerpt From The Long Road To Flin Flon: Festival Interceltique de Lorient

In this chapter, titled "The Handshake," Stevie takes us back to his earliest days in Canada. Arriving from Scotland alongside his wife, Anne, and carrying little more than his solo album Footprints, the couple faced the daunting task of rebuilding a lifetime of musical connections entirely from scratch.

In this chapter of The Long Road to Flin Flon, Stevie Connor takes us behind the scenes of a world most people never see, the hidden machinery that keeps independent music alive.
