July, 1997		We play the Roots Music Series in Whistler, B.C. Kevin Ball rejoins, playing bagpipes, fiddle, whistles, guitar, and mandolin, as well as singing. He was sorely missed!
September, 1997		Trevor Rogers leaves the band, and Cam Thomson, one of the original Lovers, rejoins.
November 14, 1997		The Clumsy Lovers play the Ullr Festival in Whistler,a party which gets about as out-of-control as you are ever gonna see.
December 1997		We play the Seattle Celtic Festival and ring in the New Year at the Rivercity Saloon in Hood River, Oregon. Also, we spend two days recording, and then enlist Colin Nairne to mix at Colin James' home studio. Mixing is also done in two days, and we very much swear we're taking our time on the next one!
