As usual at this time of year, it's always best to confirm with the venues live music opportunities whether listed this week of note on the Ottawa Blues, Jazz & Swing Guide calendar:
There are some pre and New Year's Eve parties not listed on the calendar. It's best to use the venue links on the calendar to find out more for those musicians and venues who've not seen the benefit of listing them there.
More details on blues opportunities, can be found on Liz Sykes' blog, Ottawa Blues This Week.
For more jazz opportunities, check out Ottawa Jazz Happenings.
Other music news can be found an the Ottawa Blues, Jazz & Swing Guide Group on Facebook. If you're a Facebook member check out what else is going on. So far, the group has over 259 members from Ottawa and elsewhere. If you're not a Facebook member, the above link gives you the opportunity to join.
DAWG Day Afternoon Review - Ottawa All Blues Radio that had its licence approved by CRTC as you may know was sent back by the current government to review their decision after an appeal by a French radio competitor.
Here is the latest from Ed Torres, GM, SkyWordsRadio for your consideration.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support of our Blues radio applications.
We received an update from the CRTC on December 23rd. Essentially, they are going to re-hear the original applications and they are allowing all of the applicants to modify their applications to take into account the Minority Language communities in Ottawa and Gatineau.
We did some exhaustive engineering work and found 3 FM frequencies that we or other applicants could use to serve the Ottawa/Gatineau market. We hope that the CRTC will issue us the licence on one of these 5 potential available frequencies and licence as many other players as they deem worthy.
In the meantime you can help please send us a letter of support. It's really easy. Go to www.bluesincanada.com scroll down and click on the "CLICK HERE to SAVE DAWG FM" fill in the email fields and click send and please encourage your friends to do so.
You can also join our facebook group http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?ref=sb#/group.php?gid=6523208335
Please send a reply to this email and let us know if you want to be removed from this list.
Thanks, have a great new year
