Watch for their notices and buy your tickets before they are sold out! I intend to be there for every performance. You can recognize me by the huge smile.” -Frank Bemben<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The fifties came to life on February 14th at the Mahone Bay Centre. We can’t remember enjoying a Valentine’s Day celebration as much as we did this year- from Bill Haley’s Rock around the Clock to Patsy Cline, Paul Anka, Connie Francis to Elvis’ Love me Tender and many others. It was a nostalgic Rock ‘n Roll night made for jiving and slow dancin’. What a night – what a night… it brought people together and took people back to a simpler time – the 50’s.” -Bill Crozier and Monica Sontrop<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The music was versatile. Blues, Rock n Roll, Jives, Waltzes -a little bit for every taste. People were taken out of their seats and danced, enjoying the social atmosphere” – Claudia Schiemann<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The band was absolutely first class musicians (I say, as a musician myself), as were all of the singers. The choice of music couldn’t have been better. The audience sang right along with every single song all evening. And filled the dance floor too” – Judy Comeau<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023 Puss In Boots<\/strong> (South Shore Players)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Songwriter (2 songs), Lead Guitarist<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2021 Canada’s Ocean Playground<\/strong> (South Shore Players)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Writer of Script, Words and Music, Co-Arranger, Actor, Lead Guitarist<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis performance is sensational!
