Thursday afternoon I met with Metro News reporter Jared, Dragon Martials Arts store on Pender St. at the Chinese Cultural Centre. This is where I purchased my Lion Head mask. I never ever imagined that the combination of Chinee Lion Head maskwith a red kilt would become such an iconic symbol of "Gung Haggis Fat Choy" cultural fusion.... but it did. The image has become copied and blogged around the world... from Calfornia to Canton, from Nova Scotia to Scotland, from New Jersey to Simon Fraser University.
Friday morning I am expecting a phone call from the hosts of the new CBC Radio program "Freestyle." more »

Listen on Friday, Thursday Jan 19th, somewhere between 7am and 9am on 690 AM CBC Radio One for co-host Margaret Gallagher to give away tix as part of "690 to Go" as she gives away tickets to the "city's hottest events." This will be the third year Margaret has given away GHFC tickets to CBC listeners. We must be hot! We think Margaret is hot. Margaret has both performed and co-hosted for Gung Haggis Fat Choy in past years. Margaret guest paddled in our dragon boat entry in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in 2005. We always sing "When Chi-rish Eyes Are Smiling" - only for Margaret. more »
