Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame awards

Posted December 15th, 2025 by Anna

Nov. 17, 2025. We were recently honoured with ‘legends’ awards for two of our earliest songs, Talk to Me of Mendocino written by Kate and Heart Like a Wheel by me. Rufus and Martha sang a very moving version of Mendocino, augmented by a string quartet. Then Sylvan and Lily joined them for an equally beautiful Heart Like a Wheel. Also that night, a complete surprise, the Montreal trio Le roy, la rose et le loup did Complainte pour Ste-Catherine, a song I wrote early on with Philippe Tatartcheff. It was really good. I hope they record it! There were sincere heart-warming compliments from Emmylou Harris, Judy Collins and Linda Ronstadt. It was a ‘perfect’ night. Thank you all for this and sorry to be so late posting this.

    If I may say to Anna, the creative co-genius of Kate & Anna McGarrigle, it is a well-deserved honour. It is also good to celebrate the rich contribution of Canadian musicians to the music of the world – from generation to generation!
