Special Weber Brothers Christmas Album Release Party & Musical Play December 19th
/The Weber Brothers have a special night planned for Saturday, December 19th at the Market Hall you don't want to miss—a Christmas album release party as well as a self-penned Christmas play entitled When Christmas Falls on Peterborough.
The night is in support of their 10th album, A Weber Brothers Christmas. This self-penned, never-before-seen, one-night-only Christmas play—which happens to be set in Peterborough—will be the sleigh that delivers these songs to the good boys and girls at the Market Hall.
In keeping with the Christmas spirit of giving, a portion of proceeds will be donated to the amazing Peterborough Huskies Special Needs Hockey Team.
The Weber Brothers Christmas Play/Album Release—with special guest Brock Zeman—takes place on December 19th at Market Hall. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show begins at 8 p.m. An all ages event, tickets are $25 and available at the Market Hall box office at 705.775.1503 and Moondance Records, 705.742.9425.

PTBOCanada Pics & Review: The Irish Rovers At Showplace

It's remarkable how much energy The Irish Rovers, who are celebrating their 50th Anniversary, bring to the crowd. While they aren't retiring, they say they are just slowing down—poking fun at themselves while playing antics on each other on stage and telling funny yarns loaded with Irish humour.

They played Wednesday night (November 25th) to a sold-out crowd at Showplace, and didn't even need to coach the crowd to clap along because they were already taking part. This group of very talented artists really shined and it was great to see some of them switch through multiple instruments during a single song.

Fifty years is pretty remarkable, and their fans have been along with them for the journey. It was nice to see fans bringing original records (no re-presses here!) to be signed after the show.
