Sing-along with Allison Crowe & Santa at Nanaimo North's (Pole)! December 7, 2007

CATCH ALLISON CROWE LIVE at Nanaimo North Town Centre on Friday, December 7th, 2007 at 7:00 PM. Join in a fun evening - and sing along with Allison and Santa.

On behalf of Allison, Nanaimo North will make a donation, and all contributions from this free event will go, to benefit GABA-Oceanside. GABA stands for "Group Applied Behaviour Analysis". It’s a program working with autistic children of ages 3-6 in a pre-school setting. (For more on GABA: www.abacentre.ca/Gaba.aspx )

GABA-O is located in Parksville/Qualicum Beach and operates in partnership with ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) Learning Centre, and the District 69 Family Resource Association (FRA). ABA’s Director is Dr. Suzanne Jacobsen, and the centres care for autistic children on Vancouver’s mainland as well as here on Vancouver Island.

Don’t miss this opportunity to sing along with one of our finest home-grown performers. Allison Crowe has recently returned from an European tour which included a sensational performance at the John Lennon Northern Lights Festival in Scotland. At the UK's "Best New Festival", her audience included members of John Lennon’s family alongside the Queen’s Master of Music, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. The Scotsman reports: “Canadian angel Allison Crowe gave one of the weekend's most magical moments". Earning a standing ovation, “Her rendition of Lennon’s ‘In My Life’ (almost literally) brought the house down.”

Festival Director Mike Merritt described her performance as "awesome" and "spine-tingling", adding: "Allison has put Canada well and truly on the map here!"

This Friday, December 7, follow your map to the corner of Rutherford Road and Island Highway. Allison Crowe’s special appearance at Nanaimo North’s “Pole” is part of her celebrated multi-city holiday-season “Tidings” tour. Visit www.allisoncrowe.com for more details. This old-fashioned Singalong at Centre Court is part of a two-week holiday celebration at Nanaimo North - which also features an art exhibition and a cavalcade of merry and bright Community and Elementary School Choirs! Join in the festivities from December 7th - 21st!
