One fan who was lucky enough to attend wrote a wonderful short post on the Facebook Online Kitchen Party, A Great Big Sea Community Forum…
“So I had the privilege of attending the show in Freeport, Bahamas last night with Alan, Cory and Kendel…Sorry no photos or videos although I was sitting front row in this amazing theatre, I soaked it all in and lived the moments…it was truly a magical night!…”
What was really special about this post is that it is not very often we come across fans, myself included who are right there in the moment with the music and choose not to take photographs and videos to share online. The name of the fan was removed to protect their privacy and their friend’s privacy.
The Bahamas Weekly was there and their staff photographer took some wonderful photographs and shared a story via their online site and their Facebook page. The concert was a charity event to support the Grand Bahama Performing Arts Society at the Regency Theatre that provided opportunities and scholarships for performing arts schools and students.
The article states “The concert has been made possible through the generosity of Brendan Paddock and Renee Vedd-Paddock who made the arrangements and donated the costs to bring Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies performance to Grand Bahama for the many beneficiaries of the Society.”
I have shared a copy of this article on my Google + page.
I have enclosed a wonderful photograph of Alan, Cory and Kendel doing a sound check that was circulated on Twitter. No copyright infringement intended.
