(Re: Newmarket welcomed St. Kitts for Festival, August 14, 2013)

I just had to endorse the sentiments of P.C. Smith last week with respect to the Newmarket jazz+ Festival.
George and Sher St. Kitts provided just the right blend of both local and international talent for this show to make it an outstanding event. I will venture to say the best event in York Region this year, including all of the celebratory events that have been put on by the Town of Aurora to promote their big anniversary this year.
What a wonderful experience to enjoy such talent at our doorstep.
The venue was easy to move around in, and seating was great. I attended the Saturday evening and night show and was blown away.
A big thank you to the Town of Newmarket and their Town Council for showing how to support local talent and showing them the respect and encouragement that they deserve.
We are truly blessed to have such a professional and capable organization as St. Kitts’ Music within our midst to entertain us in such a wonderful fashion. My only complaint is that the admittance fare was far too low. I would have been willing to pay three times the amount and would still have considered it to be underpriced.
Kudos Sher, fabulous job as usual.
Oh, and by the way, Town of Aurora Council, hang your head in shame. Small town minds, small town prejudices obviously still plague our council. You really blew it this time.

You know this is really getting old. The Aurora Music Festival came and went and noone was classless about it, and daming the St. Kitts afterwards. We came, we left, we enjoyed… end of. This type of letter is so very transparent that the St.Kitts camp needs to have their minions send in sentiments like this one. All it does is make the event look pathetic and like it’s organizers are still harbouring and axe to grind. Just go to whichever event you like and enjoy it! There is no reason to crap all over the town and council, move on for god sakes!
