Honey Sweethearts, Lucky Charms lend talents to Farmerettes fundraiser

On Sunday afternoon, The Honey Sweethearts and The Lucky Charms both took to Blyth’s Memorial Hall stage for a fundraising concert to benefit the creation of a documentary on The Farmerettes, a passion project of local author Bonnie Sitter. Both bands would comment about the majesty of the hall and a reverence for the stage.

 

Joe Gahan of The Lucky Charms said his band wasn’t used to playing professional stages like Memorial Hall’s, while Ava Dawe, above left, of The Honey Sweethearts said her band was “really good at background music” and joked that they’re unaccustomed to playing for a seated crowd only watching them. Above, Ava and her mother Heather, 40 per cent of The Honey Sweethearts, a Dawe family band, entertain the masses.     (Shawn Loughlin photo)
