Just highlighting a
couple of events this week that are on the calendar.
- Thursday 21 October
- Peter Brown is
at St James Gate, Carleton Place. Jazz is back on Thursday
nights
at St James Gate in Carleton Place. The new format is once a month
on the third Thursday of the month. Hours are later, 8:30 pm to 11
pm, and
we're hoping for a good turnout to encourage the new owner to keep
live music
happening. The format will be a different special guest
and myself each
time. The first show is this Thursday, October 21 and the
special guest is
virtuoso award-winning guitarist Lucas Haneman.
