Well the concert last night was a great success! I thought we had a good turnout for something which was so lightly promoted, plus we had competition from the Rockets and Franklin the turtle. The traffic getting into the library parkade was unreal!
The performance started out with Paul Quarrington reading a short story which was very good and had quite a poignant ending. Then he did a couple of songs which were partially spoken, partially sung and then the rest of the band joined him. Stuart, Marty, Chas, Rebecca and Paul were all such nice people too! I thoroughly enjoyed them. The sound was excellent, you could hear them very well throughout the whole library but we had no complaints. I talked to a few people today who were there and they all raved about it. Check out their website for more info!
During the afternoon a fellow came into my office who had seen the sign for the Porkbellys. He said he had a band too and wondered if we'd be interested - a swing band. So who knows, maybe we'll start being a library known for having musical evenings every now & then!
