MID WEST TOUR
JUST
FINISHED
Feb 26 to March 11 2009
We
started in OMAHA NE in the snow and finished in ROCKFORD IL in the rain in temperatures ranging from -10c to +20c
We played the CORANADO THEATER in ROCKFORD IL. on Sunday afternoon March 8th to
an audience of 1800+
The CORONADO was
opened in 1927 as a Music Hall and Bob Hope was the first act on stage. For the next 50 years anyone who was anyone in the
entertainment world trod the boards. It then became a Movie House and then fell into disrepair and in the '90s a fund was
started to restore it to it's original splendour
$21,000,000 was
raised and in 2001 the Theatre re-opened as a Regional Arts Centre.
In the next month
audiences will see not only the IRISH VARIETY SHOW but RIVERDANCE, THE CZECH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, GORDAN LIGHTFOOT and his
BAND and the GLENN MILLER ORCHESTRA to mention but a few
