Whisky Cruise

Friday night we had a wonderful cruise along the river whilst David Noman instructed everyone on "Nosing the Whisky". We provided music to complement the atmosphere. Talking of atmosphere there was quite the aroma of peat bogs around..I thought I was in the Highlands and kept checking to see if I was wearing my hiking boots. A great time was had by all, imspite of the mild chop on the water. Would definately recommend this as a fun evening for anyone mildy interested in Scotch Whisky, especially those who want to help support the Kingston Symphony Orchestra at the same time.

busy busy busy

We have had a very busy time just lately which is wonderful. As well as term starting in all of our studios we have been out playing for a variety of events including wedding receptions, the Kingston Arts Council launch party for their new web site, the Kingston Symphony Whisky Cruise and a memorial service. Phew!
This week also kicked off the Kingston Symphony 2010/2011 season so life is varied and full. Photos to follow shortly!

Uninvited guests at a recent wedding at Rideau Acres.

1812 at the Fort

We recently played our annual concert at Fort Henry with our wonderful Kingston Symphony. The symphony has been performing at the Fort every summer for many years. The most anticipated part of the concert is the always finale performance of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, during which the Fort Henry Guard joins us with firing cannons and fireworks that can be heard throughout downtown Kingston. We are also lucky enough to have wonderful guest performers join us. Past guests have been Georgette Fry, Night Sun, The Abrams Brothers and this year, Jill Barber. Despite wild, windy weather (you may recall a crazy 10 minute storm two weekends ago) and several lost channels on the soundboard due to rain, the concert went off without a hitch and made for a great way to spend the evening. Can't wait to find out who will be with us next year!

Anyone for golf?

Today we are playing at Cataraqui Golf Course, not for the benefit of the golfers but for a wedding. It promises to be a hot one. We are hoping for shade!

Black and sunflowers

Just showing off my sunflowers [grown from seed!] and my new clothes ready for the Fort Concert next week. Have you got your tickets yet?

A Day at Work

So today was a work day;well someone has to do it! We left the confines of the city to venture into the wilds of Pike Lake armed with instruments and swim suits. A great place to rehearse!

Coming soon to a Fort near you

Look out for us at the upcoming Kingston Symphony Fort Henry 1812 Concert spectacular, complete with cannons and fireworks--an evening not to be missed.
