Parksville Beach Festival Busking 2025
Thank you to everyone who came out to listen to our group perform and for your wonderful support!
Workshop
Thank you to those of us who attended the Jim D’Ville workshop, it was more of a comedy show as we all laughed so hard some of us needed oxygen! Jim taught us how songs use the 1,4,5 chords to create emotions. He did a great job demonstrating these emotions with his own actions. Then that same Saturday evening some of us got together and had a jamming session which was equally fun. Let’s hope he comes back again!!
Busking at the Parksville Beach Festival 2024
We played at the Parksville Beach Festival. Thanks very much to everyone that came out and watched our performances!
