Holiday Birdman

Birdman's annual festive shindig was a fun event, with a bunch of folks jammed into the rec room of the Clocktower Pub to see six different local acts criss-cross between folk, rock, folk, rock, folk and rock. Well, actually there was some country in there, but we'll get around to that later. After John Westhaver's holiday message of seasonal cheer and musical praise and denunciation, Darrell Angus and Richard Matthews from the Golden Famile came up to do a few songs.



Famile member Casey Comeau also provided some vocals.



Next up was Four'N'Giv'r ...



Bob Whitmore gives a hellish howl.



John on the drums ...



They had copies of their debut album (called Psychle, I believe). Their spot was followed by a return appearance from Casey and Richard, who sung a few songs.



They made way for The Weapons of Mass Seduction ... which means yet more Mark McIntyre (aka Jake Heartbreak) pictures along with the Duke and Baumshell Bill.



Mark points something out - or maybe he's giving Bill the finger? You can see a veritable who's who of the Ottawa music scene in the background: Million Dollar Marxist Johnny, Glad Patrick Shanks, Dave Aardvark, Allie Hanlon and Expatriate Damian.



Bill delivers a thumping.



The Duke models his Sharon Jones T-Shirt.



Mark gets the horns from John.



There's more, so tune in on Thursday.
