Third edition of Troubadour Summer Concert Series underway
Crowds got their seats early in downtown Barrie for the the Troubadour Festival summer Concert Series. (CTV NEWS) Here is what to expect at the Troubadour Festival summer Concert Series underway Saturday. The sun is out and Dunlop Street is closed for 'Eats on the Streets' as Hawksley Workman is ready to rock out for the third edition of this summers Troubadour Festival. Dunlop Street will be closed throughout the night while the food festival 'Eats on the Streets' returns. The emerging artist showcase will once again shake Meridian Place starting at 6 p.m. Tia Nova, Smokey and the Bones, Ritch Mitchell are all ready to perform, setting the stage for Hawksley Workman and his band. Workman is a multiple Juno Award winner and has released more than 15 albums. In an interview with CTV News earlier in the week, Workman said fans can expect some classic songs with his style of writing. 'They're a little bit kooky, but still pretty straight forward. I mean, I have a wide vocal range and I like to sing really high, I like to sing really low,' said Workman. 'The lyrics are a bit absurd, a bit kooky. Some are a bit serious.' Hawksley Workman is expected to take the stage around 8 p.m. CTV Barrie, Pure Country 106, BOUNCE 104.1, and the Downtown Barrie BIA are excited to present the Troubadour Festival Summer Concert Series– a four-part celebration of live music with star-studded performances at Meridian Place.

‘A memoir of love and fate:' Maritime couple details their epic love story
A Maritime couple puts their love story on paper in their book The Illogical Adventure. Loading the player instance is taking more time than usual Loading the player instance is taking more time than usual For James MacDuff and Mirriam Mweemba, the life they live now, on the shores of Cole Harbour, N.S., is more than they could have ever imagined. Their unique love story began in 2018 on a warm night in Cape town, South Africa. 'On the last night that I was there, I was in a bar and someone else was there as well,' MacDuff says glaring at his wife. 'It didn't click in my mind that (he was) someone I would date or let alone be my husband in the future,' says Mweemba. But that quickly changed, as the pair would reunite around the world. 'I went to Zambia to get my visa, and I traveled to Italy. We kept in touch, and at some point, we managed to meet up in Venice,' says Mweemba. Mweemba, who studies massage therapy is originally from Zambia, and MacDuff is a lawyer and life-long Maritimer. Despite the distance and cultural differences, the couple kept their spark alive, meeting up from coast to coast, including in Barcelona, Switzerland, Mombasa, as well as in Zambia.

'I was lockdown in Moncton living with my parents, and Miriam was over in Zambia on lockdown, and we were separated. We were supposed to have met in March of 2020 in Johannesburg, and we were frantically trying to figure out if we would ever meet again,' says MacDuff. 'What would the world look like? What were the restrictions, what are the risks?' But he says they managed to meet in Tanzania, one of the only places without restrictions at the time. There, the two tied the knot.

But parents and star-crossed lovers aren't the only titles they hold. Their recently completed book titled 'The Illogical Adventure' officially made them authors. 'The book tells the story of us trying to meet while we're on different continents and over different times and then managing through the Covid pandemic and everything. It's a memoir of love and fate,' says MacDuff. A project that much like their love story, withstood its own risks, challenges and delays. But they both agree it was worth it in the end. 'We faced a lot of challenges. We went through a lot. And it's a beautiful story, you know, with James growing up here (and) ...my background is totally different,' says Mweemba. 'I looked at everything, the whole story, what we went through. And I thought it would be nice to share something as beautiful as our story.' 'As someone who was kind of a lifelong bachelor, to be now in this big family relationship, it's something I never really dreamed of,' says MacDuff. Through it all, they've learned an important lesson about love and life. 'Take a chance. If you think something feels right…especially when it comes to love, but also career or otherwise… nothing is impossible,' says MacDuff.
