A CHRISTMAS CAROL BY CHARLES DICKENS

On Christmas Eve, though, he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley. Marley warns him that his selfishness will lead him to suffer in the afterlife and adds that Scrooge will be further haunted by three other spirits for the good of his soul.

Classic Rock
Hardcover is a dynamic classic rock band founded in 2008 by Paul Jones (drums), Mark McPhail (bass) and John Curtosi (guitar). The band was hired in 2010 by The DOCK 107.5 Radio Station as their official House Band. They played at the Kempenfest Festival in Barrie, Ontario, for consecutive years and never failed to deliver an intense, exciting, and genuine classic rock experience.
The band continues to play extensively, almost exclusively, in the Simcoe County and Southern Georgian Bay region. It has developed a reputation as one of the tightest and most intense local rock bands. Randy Ball joined the band on bass a few years back and has helped maintain its history of energy-packed performances. This trio has dazzled audiences at Blue Mountain Village for the past 12 years and, after a short break, will continue its stand in August of 2024. Everyone leaves a Hardcover gig impressed and, most importantly, entertained.
