Newfoundland Hour Radio Show
For twenty years, I have had a Newfoundland Hour radio show out of Halifax and have syndicated to over sixty stations in Canada. I took some time off, and am now going to expand the show into the USA, England, Ireland and Scotland.
I am looking for traditional music on CD and new artists for airplay on the shows. If you have a catalogue and/or CDs available for airplay, please contact me.

The Song Club
Meets 7:00-10:00 Thursday evenings at 23 George Street (Christians - upstairs). Participants take turns playing in a song circle format. It's a relaxed atmosphere, no audience, no Open Mic with unamplified instruments only. All levels, abilities and styles welcome. Call 753-9100.
At her CD release party, Jackie Sullivan moved through the crowd in a state of grace, a state she invoked by her willingness to take hold of and participate in an event that was so meaningful for her. Out of the rain, produced by Barry Canning, was released to a packed house on July 11th at The Theatre on St. John's Lane. On stage, Jackie's performance was strong. Her usual soft energy was evident, but she seemed to have tapped into a driving yang energy as well, which was beautifully complemented by the musicians who played with her on the CD.
The Danette Eddy Band released their CD called Traces to an enthusiastic audience on July 21, 2002 at The Theatre at St. John's Lane. They broke hearts playing The Portuguese Waltzes, and brought light, joyous energy to a set of tunes from Rufus Guinchard. Their music is all over the map; to experience it is to take a journey filled with surprises. The performance included some original compositions from both Danette and Duane, and immersed comers in Django Reinhardt's Love's Melody and Emile Benoit's Velvet in the Wind. Duane Andrews's Mediterranean-style arrangement of Up the Hills of Down was a "crowd-pleaser." Curtis Andrews amazed and amused the audience, as he always does, and Patrick Boyle's inspired accompaniments on trumpet, bass guitar and steel guitar contributed to the eclectic sounds of an altogether great evening.
