Introducing the North End Artists Collective:
                     No Fixed Address

It's not every day that you hear good news coming from Winnipeg's inner city, but a new CD from the Winnipeg Centre Vineyard emphasizes some of the good things going on in the North End that are often missed. WCV is a church community based in the inner city. It was drawn there by a desire to really listen to the voices in our society that are usually left unheard.  Within the community are a variety of artists: from street-poets whose only audience were friends and passers-by to professional recording artists. This CD is a cross-section of that community.

Margaret McIntyre is an aboriginal woman who writes songs in her native tongue. Colleen Kwade is a wife and a mother who writes with her husband, Rob. Gord Kent is a poet who has spent enough time on Winnipeg's streets to know the real meaning behind his poem, Cold Wind. David Ruis is a well-known worship leader whose albums have sold in the tens of thousands.

But perhaps the most striking story of the CD is that of Charlie Moar. Charlie had appeared in city papers on more than one occasion, though he didn't welcome his celebrity status. He was known for his substance-abuse, a notorious North End "sniffer". But Charlie always expressed his desire to rise above that label. Sadly, he never found that freedom in this life. Two weeks after completing the recording of his song Follow, Charlie passed away, alone, next to a dumpster.

Charlie is free now, and he left us his song of freedom. No Fixed Address joins his voice with the voices of his friends to sing his song.
