so_rococo Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 The Laurentian Bank and the International Balloon Festival of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu Present "Le Show" to Benefit the Quebec Breakfast Club! SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, QC, June 26 /CNW Telbec/ - The Laurentian Bank and the International Balloon Festival of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu are proud to present the Quebec Breakfast Club Benefit Show on Friday, August 10. Guest artists Mika, Champion et ses G-Strings, Eva Avila and Pascale Picard, will perform on the site of the International Balloon Festival. All profits from the event will be donated to the Quebec Breakfast Club. In light of its new partnership and its privileged role as the main sponsor with the International Balloon Festival, the Laurentian Bank felt compelled to give back to the community with a tangible gesture. The Quebec Breakfast Club Benefit Show came to life through the generous involvement of volunteers from both the Bank and the International. Their dedication and efforts are focused on the future of today's society, its children. The concert found strong supporters of its cause with two Laurentian Bank's partners, namely Western Union and Industrielle Alliance. Along with Unilever, their financial contribution in support of this worthy cause make "Le Show"come to life. Artists Unite for a Good Cause Mika, star singer of the hour, will sing his biggest hits from his album "Life in Carbon Motion". The Lebanese singer will have you dancing to the rhythms of his English pop music that features colorful and dynamic hits "Love Today" and "Grace Kelly." Champion, the most popular DJ in the province since the release of his album "Chill'Em All" will also be part of the show. Together with his G-Strings, he will ignite the crowd and your dancing feet. Winner of the 2006 edition of Canadian Idol, Eva Avila, will join the list of the evening's guest artists. Riding the wave of her successful first album "Somewhere Else," this young 19 year old from Gatineau promises to have everyone dancing. Finally, the new talent on the block singer-songwriter sensation Pascale Picard will share her songwriting with you. Discovered in 2004 on the Musique Plus show "Pourris de talent", this young artist will perform the melodies from her first album, "Me, Myself and Us." Tickets on Sale at the Laurentian Bank Pre-sale tickets for the benefit concert are available at all Laurentian Bank branches. The cost is $26.33 excluding taxes for adults (13 years old and over) and $17.55 excluding taxes for children (from 3 to 12 years).

dridri Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 That's great for us Montrealers, but isn't he a little way too big to be in that Festival??? He sold almost 1 million albums!! Sunshine, remember he was going to go to La Fureur? His management took some ... hm... questionable decisions for Quebec. I guess this means we won't see him at Osheaga - plus, he's not in any official artist list there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
