Tomorrow
night, Thursday, at 7:30pm Viva Chorale, a community choir from Salt
Spring Island, British Columbia is doing a tour with Nova Scotia
community choirs and Chester's own Studio Singers. There will be over 50
choristers. Jim Henman of April Wine fame is leading the pack. Smoke a
doobie and re visit the 70's with Jim. No. Wait ! I don't think it's
like that.
Pay what you will at the door.
