BLUES ON THE RIDEAU
2015/16 LINE-UP
Blues On The Rideau – the Dinner and Show Fundraiser Series that has been running at The Cove Country Inn in Westport, Ontario for the past 10 years and is now recognized as one of the premier Blues Series in Canada – is pleased to announce its 2015/16 Line-Up. The shows start in September and run once a month through to May (December excluded). It’s another all star cast of some of Canada’s best Blues bands with a mix of popular returnees and a couple of new bands that have never played BOTR before. As in previous years every show is a fundraiser for a different local charity. To date the Series has raised over $55,000. The goal for this season is another $5K.
All BOTR shows run from 7 to
11 pm and include a delicious full course buffet dinner served by the
Cove’s friendly staff. The venue is small, intimate and relaxed. After
dinner you get to see and dance to world class Blues bands up close
and personal – the way Blues is best enjoyed – all for a very reasonable
price – $65 (plus tax). There are door prize giveaways at every show
and 2 Grand Prizes drawn at the end of the season. ADVANCE
RESERVATIONS are required and it is wise to book well in
advance, especially if you want to stay overnight. Rooms at The Cove and
nearby B&Bs and motels frequently sell out for Blues nights. Call
613-273-3636
Note that there has been a small increase in price this year – $5 - the first in 5 years – to help cover cost increases over that time. And there is a new Reservation Policy in place this year – a credit card number is required with the reservation (although the card is not charged until the night of the show). Cancellations or changes in the reservation can be made up to a week prior to the event without penalty. After that time those than don’t show – or come with fewer than reserved for – will be charged for those seats – although a credit will be applied for a future show that season (space available) if there is a legitimate reason. The new policy has been implemented due to the number of "no-shows" over the past several years which, in many cases, has prevented others who would like to see that show from attending.
2015/16 SEASON – our 11th year!
