May 5: BellRock Hall presents  “Tapas and Tenors” 

Good food,  great music, and the company of friends.   What could be more fun on a Friday night?
Featuring the combined efforts of professional chef Jack Francis and the singing trio “Kingstown Tenors”.
Tapas are the Spanish version of what we in Canada commonly call appetizers—a selection of delicious finger foods that are a skillful blend of flavours and textures, both savoury and sweet.   In Mexico, similar dishes are called botanas.   Jack, whose alias is “Happy Chef”,  is preparing these for your enjoyment during the concert.  And as a bonus, he can sing, too! The Kingstown Tenors are something really special.
Talent abounds in this fun, local group.  Vocalists Tim Togerson and Danny Young are the other two tenors in the trio.   Presenting a wide range of styles, and carefully stitched-together vocal interpretations of familiar tenor classics, pop, rock and folk-rock, all three singers have terrific voices and they know how to harmonise them perfectly. They are backed by a versatile four-piece band which easily switches musical styles to match the choice of songs. You may have heard them perfom at local festivals .  According to others who have heard them, the jokes and banter that accompany this gang are just as good as the songs.
