Hello Friends,
Just a note to tell you what’s up these days. The Legendary Aristocrats ride again, the band stars Robson Sutherland on keyboards and vocals, Anthony Telfair on drums and vocals and little ol’me, the swing era sonstress and we are gigging in beautiful Qualicum Beach. You’ll find us swing’n the standards every Friday and Saturday nite in the Old Dutch Inn waterfront dining room. Under new management the Old Dutch is serving up spectacular local fare with a fresh Atlantic Lobster Special that is selling out nightly. I’ve had it and it was amazing. Folks have been coming in to celebrate special occasions and last night we had 4 birthday groups with dancers hitting the floor during the first set. So if you are looking for a fine dining experience in Qualicum Beach with a twist come let Kevin and his superb staff treat you to the very best Qualicum has to offer.
Looking forward to seeing all our old friends and making some new ones,
Cheers
Liz and the Boys
Friends the heat has finally arrived! Our 22 ft Seaswirl is ready to hit the waves with the BBQ smokin’ and ice cold bevies ready. For those windy days we have the customized monster Jeep my husband’s building ready to do some serious rock crawlin and trail blazin. What would summer be if we just worked everyday without experiencing all that Beautiful British Columbia has to offer. With only a small collection of weekends, one must be careful to balance work and play, and Westcoasters love to play.
Speaking of play, there’s a great dance coming up featuring performer Shawn Carle on July 17th at the Qualicum Airport. Check him out on Facebook. He just released a great new CD of originals and will be the first to try out the stage at the Hangar venue. If you love planes and all things aeronautic this is the event of the season so contact cat4flyin10@gmail.com to request your ticket to this ultra cool event!
Speaking of Awesome: We’ve been building condo’s in Qualicum Beach, there are currently 4 available. They are 2 floors, a whooping 2500 square feet with huge double garages (for your winter and summer toys) and they have a breathless view of the Georgia Strait. You can learn more about them at Taylorridge.ca but you’ve got to watch the sunset from one of the balconies to get the full effect. WOW!
On an Arts Note: If you are looking for an excellent evening of LIVE entertainment check out the Red Martini Grill in Nanaimo. The menu is superb, there is a real stage and the place has great atmosphere. The summer roster boosts a variety of talented performers as well as the house band The Lounge Lizards featuring Phil Randoy and Rob Sutherland. If you like Vegas style crooning and tunes made famous by the Rat Pack this is the hottest spot on the West Coast. I love it and I bet you will too!
Well, I hope to see you out and about over the summer, don’t let this fine weather go to waste chickens!
Cheers
Love ya

Just what you need, someone reminding you to remember something else on the dang calendar. But this is really important: June 20th Fathers Day is fast approaching and a dollar store tie or a chocolate bar with a lame card is not what you should give to show your love. Dad deserves soooo much more.
My alter ego’s are clamoring to say their peice so here we go: (more…)
Hi Moms and all fans of “Mom”,
It started as a special day but that didn’t seem like enough time to tell our Moms just how very much we love them so I’ve decided to rename this holiday Happy Mothers Day Weekend.
Toss off your aprons ladies, spring has sprung the sun is shining and its time to come out from behind that dirty stove. You deserve a “restaurant plus” experience this Happy Mothers Day Weekend so join me at the Takrai Thai Restaurant in Qualicum Beach on Friday night, music begins at 6:00. (more…)
Wow this is exciting. First, thanks to Heidi at Times Three Media Group for creating my website and setting up this blog. I’ve received so many positive comments about my site and I have the Times Three Media Group to thank. Great job y’all!
It’s great to be SINGING again after such a long hiatus. Thanks to all my friends who encouraged me to keep my music dream alive. The Swing Era Songstress sings again. You are true friends and I am very grateful.
