C-Weed Named #1 Aboriginal Act in Manitoba ..... |
There is a new book on the shelf at McNally Robinson (and probably at other book retailers as well) entitled "Manitoba Book of Everything", by Christine Hanlon, Barbara Edie and Doreen Pendgracs. We bought the book and to our absolute delight discovered that Errol Ranville & The C-Weed Band is listed as the #1 aboriginal act in Manitoba! You don't top that!

The loss of a great friend and brother..
|
In Memorium:
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of (Gerald) Brian Ranville on Tuesday, July 7, 2009, in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, brother and best friend. Brian was a co-founder of the C-Weed Band whose tireless marketing work and steadfast beliefs brought the C-Weed Band to a level of recognition that no one could surpass. Brian's love of his family was portrayed in everything that he endeavored throughout the years. We already miss Brian terribly - it was just too early. |

"Magic in the Music"
13-episode Pilot TV Series for APTN |
March 2010
It is with great disappointment that cweedband.com Ltd. must announce that the proposed television series "Magic in the Music" has been declined by the programming selection committee at APTN.
For the 67 artists/musicians whom we had spoken to during the development stage about appearing in "Magic in the Music" television show, we would still like to hear from you and discuss future possibilities. All cweedband.com contacts are on this site.
For the 39 communities that so graciously offered to host the "Magic in the
Music" shows, we thank you so very much and we will be contacting all of you in the weeks to come to discuss the possibility of bringing the C-Weed Band concert to your community this summer and fall, anyway.
