SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver. We post weekly guest playlists comprised of Vancouver artists, "Last Week In Music" covers concerts in the city and "Last Week in Vogue Productions" highlights some of the shows and events produced by some of our favourite people in town... |
This month the 1st falls on a Monday, so you get to see some photos before they even hit my column! I had the privilege of photographing the talented Ali Milner, and Michael Bernard Fitzgerald at St James Hall - with special guests the St James Music Academy choir! As well as The Belle Game, Christopher Smith, and Snowblink, at the Waldorf.
So Happy October! and check out what is...
