Bigger Sticks in Goderich soon
BY MONA 'IRWIN
SSP News Staff
If you're at The Livery 00
Sunday, Dec. 17, you'll see
Bigger Sticks with Longer
Nails.
No, it's not some new form of
head -banging, chord -crunching
music.
It's the name of a concert by
three acoustic recording artists,
including Bayfield resident Jeff
White, who recently returned to
the field of music after an
absence of several years. The
other two performing artists
will be Ana Coutinho and
Roger Lee.
"We've done concerts before,
but this is the first one we'll do
together in Goderich," says
White, adding, "We were look-
ing for some place to play, and
I've done concerts at The
Livery before."
White also has a personal
reason for organizing this con-
cert: he's moving to Toronto
shortly, and while he hopes to
perform in Goderich many
times in the years to come, "I
wanted to make sure I'd play
here at least one more time."
White has performed in the
past for CBC television and
radio in his home province of
Newfoundland.
He released Grey Lord, an
album of original songs pro-
duced by Juno award -winner
Eugene Martynec. White also
composed a series of choral
works, called Messengers,
which was performed at the
Olympic Velodrome in
Montreal, and is included on
three jazz/rock recordings pro-
duced for the CBC. He is cur-
rently at work on Saucers, the
first of four theme -based musi-
cal projects which will be
released in 1996.
Coutinho released On the
Borderline, with guitarist Ray
Montford, in 1990. The record-
ing received national airplay,
and Coutinho was interviewed
on CBC's. The Entertainers' and
'Musical Friends.' In 1993, she
released her next album, Eyes
Never Lie, which was produced
by John Switzer.
In.1994, Coutinho and three
colleagues Gloria Blizzard,
Cate Friesen and Katherine
Wheatley formed a collective
which received grants from the
Ontario Arts Council and
Canada Council for a series of
self -produced concerts. The
result, 'Drive, She Said,' was
performed at Toronto's
Harbourfront Centre in May
1995.
The concert runs from 8 to 10
p.m., with refreshments. Tickets
are available at Ernie King
Music in Goderich and
Wingham, and also at the door.
Blyth singers perform Sunday
Join the Blyth Festival Singers for Christmas In Song on
Sunday, December 10 at 3:00 and 7:30 p.m.
The annual Christmas concert will be held in the Blyth
Memorial Hall and will feature a variety of favorite choral
pieces, including a presentation of Brother Heinrich's Christmas,
by the contemporary English composer John Rutter.
Brother Heinrich's Christmas is the story of donkey who makes
his way into the church choir. The tale will be narrated by
Duncan McGregor of Blyth, and Marion Doucette will perform
with Sigismund, the donkey puppet. Other featured guests will be
trombonist Nancy Ross of Goderich, who gives Sigismund his
distinctive singing voice, and flutist Kelly Dearlove.
The 40 voice Blyth Festival; Singers will be lead by Wade
Whittaker and accompanied by Deborah Wood.
After each of the two performances, the choir will follow its
annual Christmas tradition of serving its famous hot spiced apple
cider and homebaked goodies in the downstairs hall.

under 12. They are available from choir members and the Blyth

Betty's Variety at 527-1680; Wingham - Bluewater Office

With cuts, demand
for bureau increased
'With Government cutbacks
the need and demand are
greater than ever,' says the
Chair of the Huron County
Christmas Bureau.
Murray Gaunt of Wingham
says the Huron County
Christmas Bureau has been
providing support for needy
children in the County for
over 35 years. Last year the
Bureau provided food,
clothing and toys for 1,110
children in 495 families. Each
child receives a new toy and
new clothing. Food and food
vouchers are also issued to
the family.
The Children's Aid Society
along with the churches
operate five County Bureaux
which collect and distribute
donations to needy families in
their areas. In this way the
Children's Aid Society and
the community are working
together to build a brighter
future for our children.
Gaunt says that Huron
County has a tradition of
providing for needy families
who seek help at
Christmastime. He is
encouraging individuals,
businesses, organizations,
schools and churches to be
especially generous this year.
It will all help to put a smile
on a child's face this
Christmas Season. Get in
touch with your local
Christmas Bureau and make
your donation today.
