New Years Eve 2010-11 Esquimalt, BC

We celebrated New Year's Eve with Walter & Paquerette at the Dockyard/Esquimalt Branch 172 of the Royal Canadian Legion. This was our first time celebrating the New Year here and our main reason in doing so was because of the music provided. The legion hired Victoria's two most-popular entertainers which gave the chance to dance to each as they alternated their performances over the evening. Both bands played to the same dance floor.

Ron King and Tom Gough's "Yesterday's Wine" played to a crowd of approximately 170 people. Ron is a one-man band and Tom had five musicians to help him on stage. Tom fronts Vancouver Island's best country band and regularly has his partner, Glenda, backing him on vocals; Randy on drums and vocals; Doc Jenkins on steel-guitar and Clayton on bass (doubling as sound engineer). Missing was lead guitarist, Don Peterson, but he was ably replaced by Tyler Carson on fiddle.

Here's an impromptu video put together in attempt to capture the ambience of this exciting and enjoyable evening.
