Howdy there friends, as far as we’re concerned you are all welcome.  Come to the 
Working Class Cafe, there isn’t a live show like it in Vancouver.  We have 
begun a new year and I have made my resolutions.  Why just this week a judge 
sentenced me to one year of probation, it’s ugly but most things are for the 
working class.  Crimminalized so young!  If nothing else I shall go out of my 
way to organize for you a show on Thursday even better than the last two 
whoppers, complete with music, speakers, discussion, socialising, 
poetry and laughter.  The last two episodes have been smashingly 
successful, so you’ll be damned if ya miss the third..

HOST:
Joey Only, a local organizer, writer, artist and a voice in the wilderness.  A 
fluent songwriter of militant bluegrass and folk stories.  Listen to the 
interviews and songs of Joey and Dave on Sound Resistance, Thursday January 
23rd 1PM, on 102.7FM CFRO, CO-OP Radio.  Catch us every 4th Thursday of the 
month.  

SPECIAL GUESTS:
George Feenstra.  A minister who really does good.  Chastised for allowing homeless 
to camp behind the church.  Beaten by the Vancouver Police Department for 
dressing as a clown at a Gordon Campbell protest, which set the events of the 
Britannia Police Riot in motion.

Altona Manitoba.   A trainhopping young anarcho-hillbilly, banjo strumming, 
bluegrass crooning, anti-capitalist!!  Perhaps if Magnolia comes with a 
fiddle, and Joey doesn’t leave, 1/2 the Haints will be there for us to play 
some songs.

Mark Dahl.  Talented young songwriter of emotionally driven songs.  

AND MORE, MANY MORE, WE ALWAYS HAVE WAY MORE!!!!

The last show was ON THE EVE OF CLASS CHRISTMAS and what a show we had on that eve 
indeed.  We filled the Community Centre up to the brim and had three hours of 
anti-capitalist entertainment like there has not been in a long time.  
Comedian Mike Smith (aka the Angry Comic) told some of the sickest groaners 
we have laughed at in a while.  Pamela Annett sung wonderful songs on her 
acoustic including the moving World War One tale Christmas in the Trenches, 
later Josh Brandon crooned a couple critical songs.  Ex-United Church 
Minister Kevin Annett told the story of a native youth killed in the 
residential schools nearly 50 years ago.  Frank Martin spoke of sovereignty 
in BC, then Telquaa put a spell on the Palestine Community Centre so that 
people were in tears over stories from her life long struggle for freedom.  
The evening ended with a song from Pamela, it was such a beautiful song, it 
really was perfect for the midnight occasion.  Somehow we managed to deflect 
the hype of Christmas, come together, and have a therapeutic Working Class Cafe!!!
