WELCOME! Langfield Entertainment is two years old!! Thanks
so much for all the support you have given me over the past couple of years –
yup, it’s my two year anniversary since I designed my first calendar of events
at the request of Vondie Curtis Hall, a director in town shooting a feature
film in Toronto. (See details in my COMPANY BIO.) Special thanks to Michael Anthony Rawlins,
director, for going “above and beyond” this past week!
Remember that you now have two options with my site. 1) you can just click on any of the
titles of the items listed and it will take you to information for EACH INDIVIDUAL EVENT (this is a NEW feature and
easier to print out for the event that you want) OR 2) CLICK HERE for
the COMPLETE newsletter!
This
newsletter is designed to welcome all the new members, give you some updated
entertainment-related news, recap some of last week’s events and provide you
with our upcoming event listings. Welcome to those who are new
members. I will also highlight events for the next 10 days so click on EVENTS.
Vondie
Curtis Hall and his amazing assistant, Raye Dowell – two of the people
responsible for inspiring me!

DAPP THEORY FEATURING ANDY MILNE
"My music is an expression of my experiences as a man, transformed into
sound", says Andy Milne of his unique jazz style. While I’m not a die-hard jazz officiando, I
do recognize talent when I hear it. I
originally went to hear these guys as our Rich Brown had talked so much
about this project. I ended up leaving
with a new respect for the genre of jazz.
The band consisted of Andy Milne, Rich Brown, Sean Rickman and Gregoire
Maret. Some of you may have met Sean
Rickman when he was in Toronto while touring with Me’shell N’degeocello.

MOLLY
JOHNSON
Well, this smoky songtress does it again.
And the band was absolutely kickin’!
The band featured Andrew Craig, Mike Downes, Colleen Allen and Mark
McLean. Standing ovation from the
people who faired the weather at Harbourfront on Saturday. If you don’t know, Molly has a new CD out
entitled “Another Day”, available in stores now! Definitely worth adding to your collection!
