After the fantastic successful trip to Charleston, we had a bit of down time. Now we are back at it full force. We would like to welcome our new bass drummer, John Rowe, to the band. John was asked to join the band after Craig Colquhoun decided to step down and leave the band. Craig stated, "John Rowe is the best bass drummer on the planet.... I'd go to his clinics any time...." Before coming to play with us, John played for the former Halifax Police Association Pipes and Drums as side drummer and then bass drummer. John said, "there is NO ONE who I'd rather be playing for and it's incredibly flattering to be chosen as the replacement for Hoss." Welcome John.
Also, we wish Simon Connolly all the best in his future musical endeavors. Simon played with the band over the past year and was a major contributor to this year's success.
