So much music, so little time...

Greg Sczebel hit town with the band and with the new CD "Love and the lack thereof" Wednesday night. The band were astonishingly good, even though they'd not been together for about 6 weeks, and Greg brought his usual charm and 'down to earthness' to the evening and everybody loved him to bits long before the show was over! Saturday saw Jane Eamon conduct a songwriting workshop at the VCAFE premises. The small but entusiastic group were challenged beyond their regular comfort zones. All learned new skills and strategies and were inspired just to be in the presence of other songwriters.
Coming up this week is a first in the "Worship VCAFE" series. This will be on Sunday November 29th and will feature Norm Strauss and Graham Ord and band. The evening starts at 7pm and although entrance is free, a donation box will be available.
December 5th is our next VCAFE regular, and our feature performer will be Betty Anne Northup.
I've often wondered what it takes to get people out to music events and support the arts. While it's not possible to force people to come out to events, it is necessary to put on enough events for people to come to - hence the mantra of VCAFE is to "Keep Music Live". If you're not a regular supporter, have a think about attending one of the upcoming shows. See you there!
