Group shot! There were a few off tuning guitars (Dave Hunter), and a few warming up their vocal chords (Chad Allan), and a few more great old friends off chatting and catching up, but here's a good representation of the performers. Meanwhile, dedicated organizers such as Barb and Wanda Thorburn were on crowd control. Thanks everyone!

If you are ever looking for a "fundamentally fun" reason for getting out of your easy chair, fixing your hair just right and spiffing up like a teenager, make sure that you attend reunions where old pals will be there to greet you. The Burnaby Bands and East End Friends Reunion III was a great success thanks to all of the great musicians and fine old friends who sprung up to make May 29th, 2010 a very memorable night! While we were all having a groovin' good time at the old Grooveyard... The Walkathon for Kids with Cancer Society was benefitting from the generosity of all. Thank you to each and every performer and fan for their enthusiasm and valuable contributions.
The walls of the historic Grooveyard (formerly the Hollywood Bowl and now The Metro) in New Westminster, B.C. still carry the echoes of performers such as Marvin Gaye, Merrilee Rush, The Collectors, Paul Revere and the Raiders, and Tina Turner. At this year's dance the lingering lyrical stylings of these great artists were fused with the very live sounds of...The Epics, The Bill Gibson Project, Top City and The Northwest Company! It was a special evening for the many performers who struck their first chord and sang their first note on the stage of "THE place to play in Vancouver"! It was a thrill to have may more individual performers offer their wonderful talents as they joined the bands on stage. The pictures will tell the story of a night which will be remembered with much fondness. As Chad Allan (Shaking All Over) was heard to say, "Man, there was allot of love in the room!"

May you all attend the next reunion that comes your way! Thanks again, everyone!
