It will be a fabulous show tonight. My baby daughter won tickets and is ouut of her head with excitement.

Ironically, we (Claymore) were performing at The James Joyce a couple of years ago, and the boys of GBS came down and hung out, after their corporate gig. They were extremely friendly, down to earth, and supportive of our playing. It really showed how much they are passionate about their music and fans.

Perhaps the party will move to Jameson in Brentwood Mall afterwards. A Newfoundland Clambake and Screeching In Ceremonies, and Claymore perfoming are on the agenda.

No tickets are available to purchase for tonight or tomorrow's shows, but head down to the venue and try your luck. We're not lying when we say people without passes in Ottawa and Toronto got lucky!

Show was AMAZING last night in Calgary!!

There is nothing better than being that close and having it be such a relaxed atmosphere.
The new songs played were great, the covers they did (Land Down Under) were awesome!

I hope the new album means a tour this summer

Absolutely fantastic - my toes are still tapping! Thanks for a great show and some superb new material.

Great mix of fans...I think every age group was represented.
Excellent venue as well-I forgot how much fun the Joyce and their staff are.

I did not realize that pictures would be permitted, so I was the only redhead at the front with no camera ;-)If any charitable souls would email me some pictures, I would be forever grateful! My email address is heather.wilkey@gmail.com

Hi mmckeon. luvsentangel's dad here. Julie left for Castlegar a short while ago. She is still pumped about last night

Not to worry, da' boys didn't show up at Jamesons, at least not while we were still playing or packing up. They were likely heading out to Vancouver right away. Otherwise, I am sure they would have come out for a pint or two!

Concert was great!  Loved the plug for Fraid Knot too at the end (lol). The lads hung around for a bit...Sean until close. Great bunch and a special performance.  Glad we could be a part of it in the audience.

Man o'man...I was so buzzing after the boy's small kitchen party at the Joyce last night.  I don't know how they're able to keep this pace up.  To Sean...here's a little Red Breast for you boy!

Fantastic show and looking forward to them returning soon.

And to the Redhead (Heather) -- a certain ChineseRedneck forgot his camera too.

If any are so generous too...rottirollie@yahoo.ca.


And thanks to you guys on the OKP for the passes!!!

The show last night was one to remember forever. It was by far the best concert i have ever been to! I better hear that Calgary is a stop on the Fortunes Favor tour. Between the red breast... 5 hot men and awesome crowd of Great Big Sea fans, it was the best birthday present I could ask for!

SEAN.. im taking you up on that offer for chocolate cake shots at the black dog on george street! If theres anywhere we can post pictures for the boys to see... let me know!

Thanks again for the best night of my life! XO

Your Maiden,

Brittney (I requested Gideon Brown and provided the teeny beers! haha SORRY)
