WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SHORT SLEEVE.
Legendary Platters at the Winspear SIDNEY — The Legendary Platters and the Inkspots are at the Mary Winspear Centre for two shows next weekend. On Feb. 21 and 22 the two groups take the stage at 7:30 p.m. The Platters were one of the top vocal groups of the 50s scene and achieved their success with their crooning, pop-oriented and harmony-rich material. Their distinctive sound was a bridge between the Tin Pan Alley tradition and the burgeoning new genre of Rock ‘n Roll. The Platters toured the world as international ambassadors of musical goodwill.

The Inkspots play with the Legendary Platters next weekend in the Charlie White Theatre. That vibe continues today as their music lives on in such legendary titles as Only You, The Great Pretender and Earth Angel. In an era where ‘the single’ was the thing,
The Legendary Platters released a total of 38 singles and sold fiftythree million records. They were also among the first DooWop groups to be inducted into the Rock
And Roll Hall of Fame (1990). Tickets for the show at the Winspear Centre are $60.90 including facility fees and service charges. — News staff
Association celebrating sister city SIDNEY — This year the Sidney Sister Cities Association (SSCA) celebrates the 30th anniversary of welcoming Cairns, Australia as Sidney’s first sister city. Although it was 1984 when the agreement was signed, SSCA was not formed until the 90s. “Prior to that it was the Sister Cities Advisory Committee, reporting directly to the Town Council,” explained SSCA president Lesley Nicholls. Following a number of official
and private visits between the two towns, the relationship was little more than an exchange of Christmas cards. In 2008 SSCA received an invitation from Cairns for ceramicists in Sidney to take part in an exhibition of work by artists from all seven of Cairns’ sister cities. The association spread the word throughout the arts community, and through the following two years Sidney also participated in photographic and fibre
arts exhibits. A highlight of the 30th anniversary celebrations will be a display at the Sidney Museum, which will feature gifts SSCA has received over the years from Cairns, Anacortes in Washington State, and Niimi in Japan. Any contributions of memorabilia and travel treasures can be submitted before the end of April. Contact Nicholls at lanich21@telus.net. — Submitted by the Sidney Sister Cities Association
