One of our community's most gifted performers, Basia Lyjak, is moving out west to Calgary! After taking a trip there in March and connecting with sponsors and a lot of great people, she made up her mind up split her time between the West and East coasts. This may be a farewell and loss to our scene, but Basia without question will be doing many shows out in the Alberta area; a scene which is growing rapidly in recent years. Basia is one of my favourite talented female performers I've seen on the circuit in recent memory, and one of the best shows that I have ever seen was Basia at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in 2007. I wish Basia all the best to her and I sincerely hope she'll make a visit to Toronto in the coming months. This may be Toronto's loss but I know Basia's heart will remain in Toronto and there's no question she'll be reading this newsletter as soon as she gets settled in her new home. All the best to you Basia, you've got a bright future ahead of you in music,so keep up the amazing work!
