Music: Canada Live Plays Concert From Fire Hall #9


Tonight at 8pm on Canada Live (CBC Radio 2)

You've all seen the Firefighters Calendars! Those boys have nothing on these performers. Multi-instrumentalist Celso Machado, mandolin and guitarist John Reischman and latin percussionist Salvador Ferreras took no chances! They set the stage ablaze at Fire Hall #9 near Commercial Drive, deep in Vancouver's Eastside. The veteran trio blends hip-shaking Central and South American rhythms with the beautiful lyricism of Brazilian and Caribbean melody. From all reports the blaze was deliberately set!

Music: Neighborhood Firehall Concert


In response to what he says is a "lack of good concert venues on Vancouver's Eastside," Kevin Mooney has come up with the brilliant Neighborhood Fire Hall Concert Series. The first presentation will be November 17th at Fire Hall # 9 on Victoria Drive and East 2nd Avenue featuring the triple global threat of Celso Machado, John Reischman and Salvador Ferreras (seen here). The concert will be recorded for national broadcast. www.ticketstonight.ca
