Unitarian Service Committee (USC)
I’m thrilled that the Unitarian Service Committee (USC) has asked me to join James Keelaghan and Friends at Festival Place to do a benefit concert for the USC Thursday, November 12th.

The year that Lotta Hitschmanova arrived in Canada as a WWII Czech refugee, she founded the Unitarian Service Committee. She mobilized a whole generation of Canadians to reach out and help others in need. Who can forget that thick Czech accent on TV commercials urging us to take action and help those less fortunate than ourselves by sending our cheques to 56 Sparks Street. She would have been a hundred years old on November 28th.

With its Award winning Seeds For Survival Program, the USC continues Lotta’s legacy by supporting women, small-scale farmers and youth in 12 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

On November 12th, we are at Festival Place to thank her and support them. Check out USC at http://usc-canada.org.

Hope you're feeling well enough to do the gig, Rob - sorry I won't be able to be there to hear you (I'm a big Keelaghan fan too so it's a double disappointment for me!).

 
 
 

Besides having well-crafted and intelligent lyrics, the songs are melodic, memorable and haunting in their sounds.

Solid singer-songwriter fare from one of music’s craftsmen. Warm, welcoming, comfortable, familiar even, seldom brash or edgy, plenty going on and a few wow moments that make your heart stop in wonder. – Maverick Magazine (UK)
