“Baby it’s fate, not luck”

The Penguin Café Orchestra were a free-thinking folk collective, led by classically-trained British guitarist, composer and arranger Simon, who played a dazzling array of unusual instruments, including the cuatro, ukulele, omnichord, penny whistle, ring modulator, rubber band, milk bottle, soloban, spinet and electric aeolian harp.

You may think you haven’t heard of the group, co-founded by Helen Liebmann, but you will definitely have heard their best-known tracks Perpetuum Mobile and Music for a Found Harmonium, both of which continue to feature in films, on television and on high-profile advertisements.

“We wanted people to rediscover winter,” explains Nicolas Cournoyer, one of the four founders of Igloofest. “It was a crazy idea at first, but people eventually jumped on board. They were happy to tame winter.”

He likens the fans’ experience to the cold-weather camaraderie of South Pole penguins, standing in packs for warmth. “It feels awkward at first,” being outside, partying with friends,” he explains. “But there’s a solidarity. It’s so cold, everybody has to fight the elements. It’s contagious.”
