Playing Guitar in Fort Langley to Fight Cancer!

June 28, 2011 in Behind the scene at the Gigs with 2 Comments

Last night I played guitar at the Eighteen27 in Fort Langley. The event was a dinner and live auction in the memory of Alan Howchin to raise money to help find a cure for colon cancer.

This event is close to my heart as my grandfather and aunt passed away from this ugly disease. My sister has also been fighting it for the past 3 years. We need to find a cure!

Don’t be afraid to have your colon checked if this runs in your family. I was checked and it’s no big deal. (I slept through the whole thing)

Once again I performed the gig with percussionist Lyndon Dewitt. We began our performance at 6pm and wrapped it up around 9:30pm.

The Eighteen27 is a wonderful venue with live music and great food. I highly recommend it for those of you visiting Fort Langley, BC, Canada

Once again I’ve taken my “Gig Cam” with me so you can join me behind the scenes today on the gig.
