A packed community hall at the Municipal Centre on December 31 had the great time that is always guaranteed when the music is supplied by Eddie and the Stingrays. For, literally, decades, this fantastic band has brought people to their feet, with irresistible rock n’roll music, songs everyone knows and can (and do) sing along to. A great way to dance in the New Year. Mayor Nancy Peckford was in attendance, and it looks as if she was taking the vocals with a high-powered backing band – probably all singing traditional Newfoundland sea shanties…
OK, Mayor Peckford was just taking the opportunity to welcome everyone to the event and give the band a short break. But those sea shanties would have been interesting…
