Lots of news...

Wow..where do I start...a huge announcement yesterday. Bruce Conte, the guitar player from 'Tower of Power' and 'Earth Wind and Fire', has agreed to to do one club date while in Edmonton. That date is February 26 at the Newcastle Pub...holy crap...I can't believe it...

Next up is the 'Heart of the City' fundraiser, also at the Newcastle. This is to raise funds for a very worthy cause, helping the upcoming 'Heart of the City Festival' supporting the arts for inner city youth. On the bill for the show is the band 'No Foolin' with special guests, '100 Mile House'. This will be an awesome show...

Then we have a very special evening planned for March 12, when the Newcastle is proud to host the 40th anniversary of one of Edmontons' most beloved bands, 'Hot Cottage'. These guys were rockin it out before I even reached puberty, and they still know how to kick it up. Special guests on the stage that night will include 'Big Hank Lionheart and A Fist Full of Blues',  along with a few surprises, I'm sure.

Keep your ears open...there's more up the road! On July 9th the Newcastle will host the second annual 'Little Warriors/Newcastle Pub Poker Run'. This was one of the highlights on the schedule last year, and was a huge success raising an unbelievable $15,000.00 for this very important cause. The morning starts with all of the bikes in the parking lot in front of the pub...what a site to behold...and continues throughout the day. Festivities include a silent auction, and culminates in fine style with music and dancing in the evening. Returning again this year to provide the grooves, are 'The Vindicators'. These guys really know how to lay it down.

That's it for now...I will keep you all updated as new events come up...
Cheers...
