Springtime
It’s a beautiful springtime in Ontario, with flowers pushing up through the warming earth, birds returning and tree canopies leafing out. This is also a time of rebirth and renewal for Porkbelly Futures as we recover from the loss of our beloved Paul Quarrington. We are delighted to announce that guitarist Teddy Leonard has joined as a full-time member and that our touring and recording activities will continue to grow. New songs are being written and older ones revisited. There is much we could say at this point about the interesting ways in which the band is evolving, but please know that we will be back in your town soon and stronger than ever, just as Paul would have wished. [April, 2010]
Checked out by Bob Gainey
Forechecking, scoring and backchecking, he was known as one of the best all round players in pro hockey. Bob Gainey is also a gracious and convivial host. We’d like to thank The Gainey Foundation for inviting us to play at this year’s benefit concert in Peterborough. We had a terrific time!
Hockey legend Bob Gainey
Hang time with The Hawk
What a thrill to have a visit from the legendary Rompin’ Ronnie Hawkins backstage at the 2nd annual Gainey Foundation benefit concert in Peterborough Ontario last weekend. The concert was a sold out success and featured, along with PBF, Greg Keelor (Blue Rodeo), The Sadies, Sarah Harmer, Murray Mclaughlin, John Mcdermott along with many others. The concert was a whopping 3hours 45 minutes long. The good folks in Bob Gainey’s home town certainly got their money’s worth!
“I’ve spent 90% of my money on booze and broads. The other 10% I’ve squandered.”
-Ronnie Hawkins
