Grey Cup 2006 - Winnipeg (http://www.cflgreycup.ca/winnipeg/festival_events1.php) News - Latest Tue, 14 Nov 2006 04:39:57 +0100 http://www.guideto.info/igotoconcerts/content/view/18/2/ Two lucky people attending the 94th annual Grey Cup will have the opportunity of a lifetime at this year’s big game, to be played Nov. 19 at Canad Inns Stadium in Winnipeg. Grey Cup organizers announced today that one fan and a guest will get a chance to meet Canadian and international recording sensation Nelly Furtado face-to-face. Everyone attending this year’s game will be automatically entered to meet Furtado, whose recent multi-platinum CD Loose features No. 1 hits like Promiscuous and Maneater. One lucky name will be announced during the first quarter of the game. That person and a guest will be invited to come down to field level to watch the 2006 Rogers Grey Cup Halftime Show, which will feature Furtado as the headline entertainer. They will then get an exclusive, V.I.P. meet-and-greet with Furtado following her performance. Furtado teamed with major producer Timbaland in 2006, to create a diverse song collection on Loose. The multi-platinum release showcases her versatility, creativity and hip-hop influence. Furtado burst onto the music scene and international stage with her debut album Whoa, Nelly! The album featured the timeless hit I'm Like A Bird that went on to win her the 2001 Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and four Juno Awards, including Best Single. Furtado won her fifth Juno for Song Of the Year for Powerless (Say What You Want) on 2003's critically-acclaimed album Folklore. Furtado joins the ranks of previous Grey Cup halftime performers The Black Eyed Peas, Bryan Adams, Sam Roberts, Shania Twain and The Tragically Hip. Tickets for the 94th Annual Grey Cup game and other Grey Cup events are available on-line by visiting www.ticketmaster.ca or by calling (204) 780-3333.

News - Latest Fri, 17 Nov 2006 06:20:00 +0100 http://www.guideto.info/igotoconcerts/content/view/61/2/ Great concert overall, but just a bit too mellow for me (that's a personal thing) most of the time. The Winnipeg Symphony did fill out the sound and sitting at the far end of the arena from the stage, the sound mix was magical to even my untrained ears. They only got rockin' near the end. The highlight tune for me was Boy Inside the Man as the show finale. Reminder to self: Get up close if you want to feel the event. Great sound at a distance, but you feel distant, I found. 4 stars for execution overall. Enjoyed the evening.

And that's what he played to lead off the show. The Money Man played Winnipeg's Club Regent on Friday March 9. If you've ever rocked to his songs from the 70's and 80's you would have enjoyed his high energy 100 minutes of solid performances by Eddie and his band. He is touring in advance of a March 13 CD release, mostly covers I'm told, which he previewed with "You Send Me" the Ray Charles song. I would have liked to have heard one more at least from the new album. I rated the show a 4 out of 5 for the hits, his engaging self, and the energy throughout.

Lee Rocker, Winnipeg, March 27 (http://www.bluesnite.ca/) News - Latest Fri, 16 Mar 2007 12:38:22 +0100 http://www.guideto.info/igotoconcerts/content/view/144/2/ I am listening to a 1979 Searchers vinyl (Sire Records) as we speak that I've found great enjoyment in for some time. Frank Allan, John McNally, Billy Adamson and Mike Pender were the group in 1979. A cutout record as we used to call it (small hole punched in top left or right and discounted at the stores), it was a find. This is from someone who remembered their hits from the 60's ("Sweets for my Sweet, Needles and Pins, Love Potion#9) but let them be overshadowed by the Beatles as most of us did. This is from the Club Regent casino website in Winnipeg. My kudos to the kudos to the Casinos. Without them hoping to bring into their establishment bored boomers looking for a little spark where would we be in seeing some of the touring groups not on the A list at the large venues. Eddie Money and band at $25 a ticket with 22 million tickets sold worldwide, was a great deal (and memorable event in turned out) I thought. Now we have a $40 ticket here in the same venue (421 seats) a couple months later. What's the reasoning? Oh well, in the competition for our entertainment dollar, it is up to us to decide. from the website: May 2 8:00 PM $40 On Sale Date: March 23 Formed in 1960 The Searchers were at one time second only to The Beatles in popularity in Liverpool, with British # 1 hits, "Sweets For My Sweet" (1963), "Needles And Pins" and "Don't Throw Your Love Away. Like other "Merseybeat" groups, they built up an extensive repertoire of R B and rock 'n' roll songs. Their distinctive jangling sound of a twelve string guitar and the rich vocal harmonies have assured The Searches a lasting place in the history of popular music. The Searchers, including members John McNally, Frank Allen, Spencer James and Eddie Roth will bring back the ‘Merseybest’ to Club Regent, May 2nd.
