The Lucknow Sentinel, 2015-04-01, Page 66 Lucknow Sentinel • Wednesday, April 1, 2015 Singers Go a Long Way to bring Great Music to Blyth! Blyth Festival Singers Submitted It's a "Long Way to Tipper- ary" but it's not far to the Blyth for "Songs of Wartime and Peace" with the Blyth Festival Singers and their special guests, The Howlin' Dog Vintage Jazz Band. Join the Singers on April 12 at 3:00 pm for a tribute concert commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the end of WWII. Performed appro- priately, on the stage of Blyth Memorial Hall, "Songs of Wartime and Peace" will fea- ture nostalgic wartime melo- dies like the "White Cliffs of Dover", "We'll Meet Again" and the "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", to name a few. The repertoire includes songs from both world wars as well as post-war and con- temporary music inspiring hope and peace in a better world. The Howlin' Dog Vintage Jazz Band was formed in 2002 and plays a mixture of traditional Jazz styles. Their mission is to preserve vin- tage jazz standards and to perform them to a new audi- ence. What a perfect fit for a concert on the wartime era when Jazz and Swing were in their heyday! Based in the Kincardine area, this six piece group has performed at many music festivals and celebrations, in concert for members of the London Jazz Society, at the City of Burl- ington summer music series and in Jazz by the Bay in the Blue Mountains. The front- line is made up of Dave Jewett on trumpet and flugelhorn, Steve Has - bury on clarinet and saxes and Dave Schmalz on trom- bone. Rhythm comes from Ron Daniels on guitar, Karen Weber on bass and Mike Kel- ley on drums. Dave and Karen look after vocals. The Howlin' Dog Vintage Jazz Band got its unusual name when Karen's yellow lab, Jake, insisted on howling along with every tune in the key of B flat! The Blyth Festival Singers is a county -wide community choir under the professional direction of Sharon Poelstra with Lori Millian as accom- panist. The choir averages between 40-50 voices, per- forms primarily in Huron County and has endeav- oured to present a high standard of choral singing since its inception in 1980. "Songs of Wartime and Peace" will be performed on Sunday April 12 at Blyth Memorial Hall, 423 Queen Street Blyth at 3:00 pm. A concert for all ages, the Sing- ers would like to extend a particular welcome to sen- iors and Legion members. Tickets for the concert are only $6.00 for children ages 6 to 12, and $15.00 for adults. They are available from any Blyth Festival Singer or from the Blyth Festival Box Office at 523-9300. Tickets may be purchased online at www. blythfestival.com. There may even be a few at the door!
