Nominees February 20, 2008


With the balloting underway for the 2008 Victoria Rock & Roll Music Hall Of Fame inductees, we thought it appropriate to sample some of this years nominees over the next while. Whether it be audio or video, it's time to post more great stuff to the website so people can better understand the artist's. Todays picture of Blues X Five was taken at the Memorial Arena, Saturday June 17, 1967 during the semi-finals of the Centennial Battle Of The Bands.

Todays audio addition: Blues X Five (Pain In My Heart 1966)

Don't forget to order your Bobby Faulds and The Strangers/Canadian Strangers DVD with 2 hours of complete documentary footage, outakes during the shoots, and many many other items never before seen on the website. Just e mail us ([email protected]) and pre-order yours today. This is a limited collectors edition with only a few more copies available. Order yours today or before February 29th (sooner if they sell-out), only $20 each.

Just because everyone had such a blast at last years Hall Of Fame induction, "Lightning" Len Siemens and Ernie Neiderer have taken it upon themselves to organize a "HOF Night Out" on Saturday April 5. That's right, no pomp and circumstance, just a fun evening with music and old friends. Cruel Shoes Rockin Blues Band will be our host(s) with the "Who's Who" of local music legends making appearances throughout the night. There will be door prizes, a silent auction and more fun than we should be allowed. If you've been inducted into the HOF, you and a guest are absolutely FREE. If not, it's the best $10. a head you'll ever spend this year. In fact, why not call up your old band mates and get a table together. Order your tickets today by e mailing [email protected] with the heading "Tickets". Proceeds from this event benefit "Victoria's Rock & Roll, Music Hall Of Fame".
