Over the years, Heidi and Scott Howarth of Brandon's Trails West Motor Inn have often called upon us to judge various music events in their North 40 Saloon. It is always a special honour to be asked to assist in the judging of the Classic Rock Battle of the Bands contests because of the calibre of the bands which enter from across the prairies and the northern states.This event often goes on for many weeks, culminating in the big final contest on the North 40 Backstage during the Annual Classic Rock Weekend in Minnedosa.
This year's judges were Theresa Morrison (M.T. Gunn), Tim (Prairie Dog), Les Milne (Bedside Studios), and myself, Bill Hillman. The five featured bands were: The Prize, Riff Raff, Bag O' Hammers, Legacy, and Grimstone. Scores were very close but the first three bands placed 1, 2 and 3.
Between judging chores and pressing commitments back home in Brandon, I managed to snap a few photos, some of which I have shared in the gallery features in the following websites:
