Not even last Friday’s oppressive heat could keep avid “The Bromantics” fans from flocking to the Carlyle Memorial Theatre to thoroughly enjoy a pop-up concert sponsored by Carlyle’s Dickens Festival committee. Around 125 devotees, some from as far away as Maryfield and Moosomin, braved the 36C temperature to sit in the relative comfort of the theatre, tap their feet, and clap and sing along to the popular Saskatoon band’s signature selection of golden oldies. From The Beatles to Bobby Darin the infectious tunes had people ‘twisting the night away’ and literally dancing in the aisles, with an impressively long conga line to Harry Belafonte’s “Jump in the Line” all but emptying the seats. A truly good time was had by all.
The Dickens Committee extends its thanks to all who came out to the show, with a special thank you to Cornerstone Theatre for providing the facility and to Paul Twietmeyer for running sound with equipment provided by the hall, theatre and Downwind, all free of charge.
