Sunday Nov 19th The friends and fans of John Mann gathered at The Commodore Ballroom for a music tribute to John and Spirit of the West.
For over 30 years they left their mark and became one of Canada’s most popular bands..even though they weren’t churning out pop hits.
They were a wicked combination of punk, folk, Celtic and roots.
Over the past number of years John Mann, lead singer and co-founder succumbed to early on-set Alzheimer’s. It robbed him of his memory but not his strength and drive.
It was my pleasure to host the evening, more like a traffic cop, as bodies were flying in and out.
Raising funds and paying honour to John (and Jill) his wonderful wife and love were there
Jim Cuddy
Sarah McLachlan
Alan Doyle
Vince Ditrich
Geoff Kelly
Tobin Frank
Barney Bentall
Dustin Bentall
Jim Byrnes
Colin James
Ed Robertson
BareNaked Ladies
Shari Ulrich
Sprit – The next generation
Kendel Carson
Odds
Spirit of the West
Daniel Lapp
Shaun Verreault
And musicians from Odds, BareNaked Ladies and Spirit of the West (and Next Gen)
The video is from my iphone at the side of the stage for the finale..
A rousing all-star cast version of Home for a Rest.
I swear it’s taken on a life of its own.
Alan “freaking” Doyle took all cast into the men’s Washroom at the Commodore and had them sing and play the song.
So coming soon is a single of the song and a video..I heard the music..its KILLER!!!!!!
You can HELP. A GoFundMe page has been set up in John Manns name.
Have you got some coin you can sent his way??
He needs care and that’s where the money is going.
Thank You
