Wyckham Porteous is garnering some recognition. His Andrew Loog Oldham-produced 3AM, (which is great) earned him three nominations for this year's Canadian Folk Music Awards, which will take place Nov. 23 in St. John's. He's up for contemporary singer, English songwriter and solo artist.

Porteous also is in a new band, the Stellar Band of Neighbours, most of them real neighbours in the Commercial Drive area.

CBC Canada Live recorded the group's gig Oct. 3 at Chapel Arts.
