CD Release Concert
"The Marc Atkinson Trio IV"
Hornby Island Community Hall
Thursday April 17

This new CD sports compositions that are punchy, driving and rhythmically inventive. Marc will be joined on stage by long-time Trio member, bassist Joey Smith (formerly with the Glen Miller Orchestra), and on rhythm guitar by Hornby's own talented Reuben Wier. Embracing a lifetime of musical influences, new fatherhood and island living, Marc composed the Trio's fourth CD at his Sandpiper home. The Trio, formed in 2000, has toured North America, England and Europe and has received standing ovations everywhere from the Montreal Jazz Festival to the Vancouver International Folk Festival to DjangoFest Northwest. The Trio will also be playing at the Denman Community Hall, April 11th.

The performance will begin at 8 pm and the doors will open at 7:30 pm. Tickets will be on sale at the door for $15.

For information, email dierdre@marcatkinson.com or see www.marcatkinson.com.

Dance Fridays!

Family Dance
Every Second Friday Starting Feb. 1
9 - Midnight, Stretch and warmup is at 8:30

Dance Friday is intended to be a new and regular community event, and will be held every two weeks at the Hall on Friday nights. They are family dances and kids are welcome. The emphasis in the music will be world beat, and these are not DJ/techno events, we will be playing songs.

This is a nonprofit event and your $5 door admission all gets turned back to the dances. If we at some point have more than we need for cleanup or refreshments kitties we will donate overage to the Radio Society.

We seek door and cleanup volunteers, and perhaps a person who is willing to come and entertain kids for awhile. Please call 5-1336 if you can help. See you on the dance floor! - PCP
