Island Musicians Unite in Memory

A special night of music is taking place on May 27 from 7:30–9:30 pm at the Jack Blanchard Centre in Charlottetown, in memory of Island musicians who have passed away. This will be the second annual event to honour and remember all the musicians the community loses each year to age, illness, or other tragic events.

The concert will feature a cast of Island musicians including Niall MacKay, David Altass, Paul Chandler, Gary Cudmore, Gerry Hickey, Norman Stewart, Maxine MacLennan, Kelley Mooney, Cynthia MacLeod, and Kim Albert, as well the host band of Kendall Docherty, Peter Burke, Brian Knox, Brian Langille and Brian Blacquiere. This concert will serve as a fundraiser for the second annual PEI Musicians Legacy Award, a Memorial Bursary which will be distributed to high schools across the Island to a student who is graduating from Grade 12 that plans on following a musical path in life. Last year’s fundraising concert seen 11 graduating students receive a $350 bursary.

Admission is at the door. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the cause. Additional information is available by emailing ceilidhinthecity@gmail.com or by calling Docherty at 902-569-1133.
