    I think it would be nice to identify at least one of the ‘fans’ as Ronnie Gilbert, a folk legend extraordinaire.

    Congratulations girls. Your movie is doing so well around all the festivals! I see by your gig guide you will be going right across to the other side of the continant soon! Cool to see Ronnie Gilbert there with you! I reckon she’d be happy to be called a fan…..Thanks for the great pics, and keep on rockin’…

    These photos make me so happy… I am originally from the US, but now a New Zealander, and I am a huge fan of the Weavers as well as of the Topp Twins! I already associate the Twins with the Weavers in that they use music to reach people and effect change. To see them together with Ronnie Gilbert completes a circle for me, somehow.
