As requested by Maria, I'm passing her exaustive gig research on for the benefit of
other Ottawa musicians
who may be interested.

Dear Jim,
Please encourage our local musicians to join book a band on facebook to get an up to date
listing of venues both across Canada and Europe.
I am sending this along in hopes that anyone who does the research and comes up with
street addresses, telephone numbers, contact people
and details ...that they will share that information back to me.
In these difficult times we must support each other. That was my purpose in setting up the
blues society and this is why I am sharing this
information today. In order that we all become stronger, better and live longer loving
our craft.
All the best

community and help with marketing to get the word out.

THAN 50% OF THE CONTRACTED
PERFORMANCE PRICE. YOU CAN ASK FOR FULL BUT THAT WOULD DISPLAY A LACK OF REASONABLENESS.
