Bob Aylward October 6, 2009

In the 1960's, Bob Aylward was the host of CHEK TV's "Club 6". It was a music and dance show for teenagers and Bob was Victoria's answer to "Dick Clark'. Bob was always featuring young new talent on his show and many musicians enjoyed the experience of performing in front of a TV camera for the first time. Bob was the first broadcaster inducted into the Victoria Music Hall of Fame but due to circumstances was unable to attend the 2007 celebration and hadn't received his certificate or caricature until yesterday. Attending a social for Victoria broadcasters, Bob was taken off guard when Glenn Parfitt from the Royal City Music Project entered the gathering and presented him with his award.

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, your contributions are greatly appreciated!
