I just wanted to add a note here about the Scott Woods show that came through Beausejour recently. Excellence doesn’t begin to describe the experience enjoyed by everyone who attended the show. We hope Scott comes back again!

The live event for the next Beausejour Jamoree happens:
This will be a two hour show with a variety of local performers on the bill. Donations at the door are welcome with proceeds going towards the Legion roof repair fund.
This show will be recorded and later aired on Town Radio Beausejour, CKBJ-FM, 93.9 in the The 268 timeslot.
Named for our most common phone prefix, The 268 features performers from the Beausejour area. This half hour show airs on CKBJ-FM, 93.9 at 11 am Sunday morning, and 8pm Wednesday evening. If you know a local artist that isn’t being played on Town Radio Beausejour, be sure to have them send in their music and be featured on The 268.
If you like fiddle and old tyme country music, you’ll want to be at the Brokenhead Community Hall to see Scott Woods and his band perform their All Aboard show. You can get tickets for this great event at Beausejour Music on 3rd Street South.
Here is an interview I did with Scott when he came by the studio. Enjoy.
More info about Scott and his show can be found at Scott’s website, scottwoods.ca
You may have heard the news that Gerald Hawranik will be moving on from elected office and will not seek re-election as our MLA this October. He will continue to serve as our MLA for Lac du Bonnet Constituency until his term ends in October. Gerald Hawranik made the difficult decision to put his family first in his life, and looks forward to spending more time with them.
Gerald Hawranik was first elected to the Manitoba Legislature in a by-election in 2002, was re-elected in 2003 and again in 2007 and has served previously on the council in Beausejour. In his time at the Manitoba Legislature, Hawranik has served in a number of critic portfolios, including Aboriginal and Northern Affairs, Advanced Education & Literacy, Justice and Finance. He has also played a key role in the Manitoba PC Caucus as House Leader.
Town Radio Beausejour would like to take this opportunity to thank Gerald for his many years of public service to our community, and to wish him well in his future endeavours.
It’s time for the Annual Beausejour Spring Craft Show and Sale. Over 50 volunteers work to bring you a terrific show. Come for hot food, served all the time. See friends. And let’s not forget the great crafts. There are some brand new exhibitors there this year. You gotta come!
Here is the interview I did with Norman Voss, and John & Gail at Beausejour Music about the song he wrote and recorded titled Beausejour. Can you guess what it’s about?
I don’t have the actual song linked, but you can tune in to 93.9 FM to hear it. So when Norm introduces it at the end, that’s where the interview ends.
