NAC Fans Sweet On Delta Sugar
November 18, Samantha Martin and Delta Sugar played the NAC Fourth Stage, and the intimate setting leant itself to a great show for the 10 piece band.

Silverstein leave their mark on the Marquee
I always love an excuse to go to the city, and rock shows are my favourite kind of excuse. The venue, Marquee Beer Market & Stage, is top notch.

Oh, and I can’t not mention the giant disco ball and microphones hanging from the ceiling. This place is a good times factory.
