With great appreciation for Paul Pigat and the Smoking Jackets Benefit Concert!

This benefit raised $11,700 for Thrive Malawi, a volunteer local Canadian charity supporting programs for disadvantaged and disabled children in Malawi.  Thank you so much to Paul Pigat and the Smoking Jackets!Paul Pigat is a Vancouver based guitar virtuoso, who has been described as “one of the most restless, combustible musical imaginations ever crammed into a single body – there aren’t many genres of music that don’t pull at Pigat’s wayfaring imagination”. His shows are upbeat, creative and dynamic and inevitably leave his audiences wanting more of his infectious music.Paul was backed up by the “Smoking Jackets” - Victoria’s own Damian Graham on drums, Joey Smith on bass, and Al Pease on reeds .The evening also included a pre show reception with appies, desserts and a cash bar, plus a silent auction featuring a wide variety of goods and personal services.It was a most enjoyable evening, while supporting a great cause!
