It was a beautiful assault on the senses. Blues Summit 2009 Just being part of the competition was a thrill. I was proud to Blues in the Schools represent Ottawa along with my monkey-mates Tony and Matt. The highlight for me was when we found out that we’d Al K’s Blues Party moved onto the finals and would have the chance to play at DAWG FM Update the legendary Orpheum Theatre. To have finished as strong as we did was not only a success for Reviews us, but for all our families and fans who believe in us and support us.
