Celebration of The Real McKenzies!

Hello Hello Hello my friends!

Todays show was focused on one band - The Real McKenzies. I wanted to do a show dedicated to this amazing band for a while. Firstly, because I absolutely love them and secondly, there is a great reason - this week The Real McKenzies have played two shows at the Media Club, March 10th and 11th.

I had a small chat over the phone with Gord Taylor, the bagpipes player in the band. He told us about their upcoming Canadian tour, logistics of the band and (!!!finally!!!) that The Real McKenzies are in the process of recording brand new studio album and they are planning to get it all together by the begging of 2012!

I also played songs by the band The Enigmas. The Enigmas were a group that formed in early 1982 in Vancouver, British Columbia and Paul McKenzie was lead singer and saxophonist of the band. Their records are pretty rare, but we have them at the library @ CiTR. I obviously jumped on this chance to share their music with the listeners!
