I was a judge for the Underground Alliance Management and Promotion’s ‘Blue Moon Battle of the Bands’. Some great local acts played the battle but it was Halifax’s ‘Rosewood Annie’ that took the prize. A great band from Halifax the guys have a great sound, great harmonies and awesome stage presence.

The Lunchbox Interview: Dillon Ryan’s Hindsight
Random chance is a wonderful thing! With two hosts down for the weather, I (Mark the Encaffeinated ONE) decided to pop in to cover the Lunchbox. At just that time, Dillon Ryan dropped by with his brand-new self-titled CD, Dillon Ryan’s Hindsight. I chatted with Ryan about his view of music, what life as an artist in the Miramichi is like, and how this album came about.
Music today:
- In honour of the wild weather week, we heard Something Like A Storm by Great Lake Swimmers, from the album A Forest of Arms.
- Around talking with Dillon Ryan, we heard two tracks from the self-titled album (Dillon Ryan’s Hindsight): Sudden Mystery and Out of Touch.
- And again because of the weather, we heard Stephen Lewis from his great new album Life’s a Garden with Caliente.

TWS321: All The World’s A Stage
It was a rather busy week, but rather than completely miss out on an episode, I decided to try recording an off-the-cuff celebration of one of my great loves: theatre!
I’d just come back from watching a production of Hamlet performed outdoors in the park. This production has a unique feature: you only see half the play each time you see it!
Since then, there has been more opportunities to see drama, and they all excite me.
Back to the regular episodes next time.
