wife and family,” he said. “[Forest]
and [Grennan] also helped me out so
much.”
LJX continues to produce work
thanks to grants he receives from the
Ontario Arts Council and the
Canadian Arts Council, which offer
financial options for artists who
want to produce and promote their
music.
“That’s one of the most important
things I can tell people about,” he
said. “The government can really
help artists get going, and there is no
harm in looking.”
Despite travelling to Toronto
for much of his work, LJX
loves Brussels because of the
atmosphere.
“You get a cool vibe sitting
outside in the summer [in
Brussels],” he said. “And you can
really hear things here, I drove from
Toronto straight to Brussels once
after a recording session, and I could
hear the silence when I got out of the
car, it was amazing.”
The 40th annual Juno Awards will
be held in Toronto at the Air Canada
Centre on Sunday, March 27.
Performances will include Johnny
Reid, Hedley, Down With Webster,
Broken Social Scene and Best
Album of the Year Grammy Winners
Arcade Fire.
The Blyth Festival, together with
Ellison Travel and Tours Ltd., will
host a theatre getaway to New York
City April 26-30. The five-day
excursion to Manhattan is a
fundraiser for the Blyth Festival, and
is hosted by Artistic Director Eric
Coates.
“We are delighted to once again
partner with Ellison Travel after a
hugely successful trip in 2009,” says
Coates. “New York City is the heart
and soul of the arts in North
America. This is a chance to
experience the ‘eye of the storm’
with a group of like-minded folks.”
The tour features one Broadway
and one Off-Broadway show, a
narrative harbour cruise, a guided
coach tour of Manhattan and visits
to the Metropolitan Museum of Art
and the Rockefeller Center’s Top of
the Rock. Four nights of
accommodation, two group dinners,
and roundtrip motorcoach
transportation is included. Tour
planning is by Ellison Travel and
Tours Ltd.
A tax receipt for $150 will be
issued for each space booked. This
donation is included in the cost of
the trip, and will directly benefit the
Blyth Festival – a registered not-for-
profit charity.
“It has become increasingly
important for the Festival to explore
creative fundraising opportunities to
support our work both on stage and
in the community,” says Coates.
“Special events are an important
piece of our fundraising initiatives.”

“Bieber Fever” will be on stage at
the Wingham Heritage Theatre on
Monday, Feb. 21 at 4:30 p.m. Family
Day Fun with Just Bieber, a Justin
Bieber tribute artist, is as close as
you can get to the real thing.
Just Bieber “Brandon”, became a
huge fan of Justin Bieber just one
year ago, just as millions of other
teens did. Brandon had been
singing, dancing and acting for
several years while being compared
to Justin Bieber vocally, so the
transition into tribute artist was a
natural fit. Brandon is a young
veteran actor and his credits include,
Murdoch Mysteries as Ben Di
Giorno, Extreme Infestations on the
Discovery Channel and he is
currently shooting a principal role as
Doctor Green in the Nic Izzi Film
Amazing Red vs. Doctor Green as
well as several commercials.
When Brandon hits the stage, all
his training kicks in and he becomes
Justin Bieber, his connection to the
audience is amazing, children from
the ages of five to 15 years old, as
well as their parents cannot help but
clap, dance and sing along to this
very talented young man as he
performs the hits of Justin Bieber.
For more information about Just
Bieber, please contact the Wingham
Heritage Theatre Box Office, 290
