for northern life
The hills of Bell Park will be alive with the sound of music
as the 11th season of the Gazebo Concert Series begins this
Sunday, June 4.
The concert series has come a long way since the first notes
sounded a decade ago.
Uncle Dunk and the Jackets will open the season at 7 pm.
There will be concerts every Sunday until September, except
during the Northern Lights Festival Boreal.
All concerts are located at the green-roofed William Bell
gazebo, overlooking the main beach.
What if it rains that day? 
"We never cancel," said Peter Schneider, founder and
co-ordinator of the concert series. In case of rain, the
concerts will be moved indoors, to the Older Adult Centre, 140
Durham St., in The Kinsman Room.
People attending the outdoor concerts should bring a blanket
or chair, but if moved indoors, chairs are supplied.All the
bands performing in the concert series are local. Each concert
lasts between an 60 to 90 minutes and they are free of charge.
"I hope that it'll be as successful as the first 10 years,"
Schneider said. "I look for good family show."
Parking will be available at Bell Park and Science North.
Ricki and Julie Lamoureux will be performing this
year.  While you may not be familiar with their name, most
people in Northern Ontario know of Julie's father.
"Oh little ski-doo, it's up to you."  Does this line
sound familiar?  Well, according to Ricki, Julie's father
wrote Little Ski-Doo.  Ricki and Julie have been
participating in the concert series since it first
started.  Schneider will also be performing in the concert
series; he is in the Swing Fever Big Band.
There have been some changes made to the band listing that is posted in the city's Leisure Guide.  Kevin Closs and Sudbury's Own Blues Brothers will switch dates and Konflit Dramatic will be replaced by Spirit of World Drum Circles.
