Legendary Canadian folk singer Roy Forbes is coming back to the Errington Hall for a performance November 16.
Forbes, originally from Dawson Creek, B.C., has toured Canada and the United States extensively for the past three decades.
Forbes has headlined most of the major folk music festivals in Canada and opened for bands like Supertramp, Three Dog Night, Jeff Beck and Santana.
He has also produced other artists including Connie Kaldor, Mark Perry, Cindy Church and most recently, Blu Hopkins.
He did his first film score in the early ‘90s (Nettie Wild’s Blockade) and continues to work in that field — his most recent soundtrack being the CBC-TV documentary Stand Up Samurais.
Forbes gives back to his community by participating as a resource leader at songwriting workshops across Canada, an offshoot of his work with the Songwriters Association of Canada. He currently sits on the board of that organization.
The show in Errington starts at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16 and tickets are $20. Pick them up at Cranky Dog Music in Parksville, Heaven on Earth in Qualicum Beach or at the Errington Store. Children 12 and under are $5 at the door and 5-and-unders are free. For more on Forbes visit www.royforbes.com.
