Great news - I just spoke to my brother, Paul Bartlett, and as many of you are aware, John Stinson and him are performing a Lightfoor cover show, in Aurora, Ontario on May 2/09 at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, 106 Industrial PKWY North.
They have been in touch with fellow Corfid Member, Dawns Minstrel who has agreed to come from New York and perform at the show as a guest. Many of you have seen the excellent covers he has contributed within the cover section of this site. They are excited to have him on board!
John and Paul have been practicing together throughout the winter months and are dedicating this show to the late Red Shea who was thier friend, mentor and teacher.
Aurora was Red's home town for the past 30 years. This is an evening that many of you Corfid members would really enjoy. Show time starts at 7:30pm. Tickets will be available at the door for 15 dollars. Tickets can also be ordered through contacting
WWW.lightfoottribute.ca
This is a small, homey venue with just over 100 seats -- we expect tickets will sell quickly -so if you are thinking of coming to the show, order your tickets ASAP. Corfid members are being advised ahead of time. Next week they will be advertising in the newspaper and on radio.
They expect the concert to be about 2.5 hours of great Lightfoot gold!!
There will also be a screening of vintage film footage of Gordong Lightfoot, Red Shea and John Stockfish performing, which very few folks of seen.
