I didn’t get to a lot of shows this week.
 One I’m glad I caught was an all to brief opening set  from Yellowknife based Dene singer Leela Gilday, who was opening for John Wort Hannam, March 22 at the Slice.

 I was blown away by her beautiful soulful pipes. She strummed her guitar pleasantly and had tasteful fiddle background sounds provided by Scott Duncan.

 She barely needed a microphone as her sultry, jazz tinged vocals soared through the air with just a touch of gospel and encapsulated the crowd of approximately 50 people who sat silently in awe.
 I unfortunately missed John Wort Hannam’s set.
