shainhouse Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi All.Just looking for an opinion from music fans I trust. I've been given the responsibility of programming the Canada Day concert in Trafalgar Sq. in London. It's a democratic process in which anyone is welcome to apply and perform, as longas it makes sense.I was curious, given it's in the UK and event for expats, who would you book? Seriously?love,shain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 The Trews put on a pretty good rock and roll show plus one of the members of this board is in the band. Get 2 birds stoned at once! Those Brits love pints as much as I do. Quality math right there. I love the Sloan call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 David Myles would be great, at least as an opener. He toured the UK for the first time last summer and was very well received from what I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Elliott Brood who have already done some miles over there.Melissa McLelland and Luke Doucet- I think she is doing ok in the UK.BidiniBand if you really want to rep Canada.Deep Dark Woods never fail.City and Color- good name recognition and not much gear to travel with.Hey Rosetta! would satisfy any audience.
