More Stylin' and Profilin' October 2, 2009
A huge thanks goes out today to the families of Fred Usher (seen in todays picture) & Buddy Glover who have taken the time to write up detailed profiles of both artists. There was very little info previously but now those who knew them have a better understanding of their musical careers and those who didn't can understand the importance of both to Victoria's cultural history.

OCTOBER IS DONATION DRIVE MONTH
That's right folks, we are underway with our annual month long fundraiser. Since 2003, the Royal City Music Project and the Victoria Music Hall of Fame have relied on donations to maintain these vital undertakings and this month, we are hoping to raise enough money to continue our good work for another year. It costs time and money to research and restore the audio and video that is enjoyed on the website and there is lots more to come including some unfinished documentaries and a major upgrade to the displays at Darcy's Pub, the brick & mortar home of the Victoria Music Hall of Fame. If you enjoy the website or take in any of the related events, please help us continue by sending in a donation. Cheques and money orders can be sent to the address listed in the contact tab on the website. On November 1st, we will put all those who contributed into a draw for gift certificates donated by local restaurants and hotels. Thank You to Barry Ensign and Joey Smith for kicking things off, your contributions are greatly appreciated!
