Kids' Jam for Janeway Poster

The launch of our website was primarily built around an event that we organized during the Juno Award celebrations in St. John’s, Newfoundland.   Inspired by a discussion we had with Charlie Hope, we approached the other Juno nominees for Children’s Album of the Year and everyone that was going to be in town for the Juno Awards agreed to participate in a free benefit concert for the local children’s hospital.

The concert was a great success, despite losing The Bees Knees as they were stranded in Halifax because of fog, and not having Norman Foote, the ultimate winner of this year’s Juno Award as he was unable to travel to the awards.

Here is a short video with some clips of the performances.  A special thank you to Charlie Hope, The Kerplunks, Bobs & Lolo, and our wonderful host Rik Barron for outstanding performances.  In the end, we were able to raise over $1100 for the hospital through donations, raffle, and refreshment sales.

We couldn’t have done it without our sponsors, Little People’s Workshop, Dominion, The Newfoundland & Labrador Musician’s Association (AFM Local 820), Sheth Designs, Gower St. United Church, Oompa Toys and Trees & Tots.
