Hi all,
quick note.. we are back at Doolin's ..  Rick is away in Halifax for two weeks so we are lucky to have guest artist Revillie to join us on the stage.

see you tonight!


June 25, 2009 

 Hi all.

 

Two things this week to note;   

 

1.  We are NOT at Doolin's on June 18th.  They are having another band so we will not be gracing the stage with our magnificence.  True story™.

 

2. GOOD NEWS:  We will be part of this year's Whalley Festival in Surrey, a one-day event for Saturday, June 20th.  Check out the website for info;  

http://www.whalleyfestival.com/

 

It is our understanding that we are on at 12;00 noon but so far the website hasn't been updated completely.  We are on the main page though, and also in Friday's Surrey Leader Newspaper!  Who-hooo!

 

See you there or at Doolin's on Thursday, June 25th.

 

cheers

Michelle and the Rat Boys

Hello!  Is anyone out there?

We are playing Doolin's on Thursday,
and then the
Dublin Crossing on Friday & Saturday.


HEADS-UP:  Doolin's is going to have other bands play some Thursdays. I'll post the changes here for those that care.

Cheers.

Thursday, April 30 = Doolin's, approximate start time 9:30pm. Please note that Vancouver v Chicago NHL playoff round 2 starts tomorrow. Overtime, we can't help. But come and be prepared for a good time no matter when it kicks off :)

Friday, May 1 = TC Lions Pub, Vancouver.. time TBD. Please check back to the blog, and even better.. Google "TC Lions Pub" for their address and phone number and call to check with them. The more calls a place gets about a band, the better it is for promotion and makes us feel more loved!


But having said that, as soon as I get more info I will update this blog.

cheers to all!

from me on my old iMac since my friend is borrowing my macbook. :)

Come on down this Thursday.. to Doolin's!

We'll be roasting and toasting ol' Ricky on the drums.
Maybe we'll set fire to his drumsticks and see what happens?


:)

9pm...  Granville & Nelson

see y'all there 

HALIFAX WHARF RATS, STILL COMING TO YOU LIVE
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

Hope your Easter was good. The Easter Bunny actually came to visit us at the Dublin Crossing last weekend, where we had a great time rocking Cloverdale and the locals ;) So many thanks to the EB for the chocolate.. and Brian says 'gee thanks' for his lovely raw carrot... *crunch crunch*.

This Thursday.. yup.. Doolin's. No hockey games on Thursdays for the foreseeable future (ie. the first round of the playoffs, anyway). That means starting on time, barring any more individuals who plant themselves on the stage area and then refuse to move. Hm, let's all remember that we are sharing the world, okay? Let's all get along.

Brian and I are not coming to Whistler, sorry about that, there may be a date change posted in the near future, stay tuned!

cheers from Michelle and the Rat Boys (squeaky little blighters)

 Please be invited to shake off the winter cold (what's with this snow on April 1st?  Somebody's idea of an April Fool's joke?  yuck!!)  and come down to Doolin's tomorrow for Kilt Night.

Thanks to some weirdness with scheduling and people's birthdays and whatnot.. ;)     ... Kilt Night has been more miss than hit in 2009.  Now we can get it all together.  It's International Tartan Day on April 6th too.  Whee!


Come on down tomorrow night, corner of Granville & Nelson.

We look forward to seeing you there.

cheers.

What a crazy couple of weeks we've just been through.  Crazy good!  A lot of music and a lot of smiling faces.  
Last Friday we rolled into another sweet beginning of Spring.. it's not quite warm and sweet enough for me just yet, but, it's coming and you can smell it in the air.  Bring on the daffodils!  Anyway ;)  

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we're on again this Thursday at Doolin's, Granville & Nelson, March 26th.

Say, if you know anybody that needs a band for weddings etc. please pass our contact info on.  

Well that's it for this week!  Enjoy the longer daylight hours!

cheers,
Michelle and the Rat Boys 

Hi all...  Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Get your Vitamin G.  "Guinness"  of course ;)

Come and join us!

 Brian is still enjoying the East Coast experience, really on the East Coast though :)  Visiting family and friends in Halifax, b'y!   So we will be taking the night off from Doolin's tonight (Mar 5).  We will be back next Thursday.

Next week also we are back at the Dublin Crossing, Friday and Saturday.. and then the week after that, you know what it is.... St. Patrick's Week!  Lots of music events that week, updates to come.

EAST COAST GOOD TIMES HERE IN BEAUTIFUL B.C.

First of all, my apologies for the delay in posting... I was in Mexico for one week and then recovering from the shock of being back here for another ;)    Many thanks to Rosie Carver, of Blackthorn, for stepping in and taking my place for the week.  We were on as normal last week but I just didn't get a chance to let people know.

As for this week, please come out and join us in celebrating Brian's birthday!  In fact, he will be taking a vacation to go back East to Halifax and that means we will NOT be at Doolin's for Thursday, March 5.  Just a head's up, while I remember.

See you tomorrow!

WELCOME TO OUR RATTY PAGE

Hi, so it's February and that means the first Thursday of the month is coming in only a few days. Doolin's is the place, Kilt Night is the game.  Come on down for the usual East-Coast good times, and get yer free drink if you are kilted that is.  Spin around some, twirl it, show us yer knees.  That kind of thing.

Thursday Feb 5, Doolin's.

Then on the weekend we're back at our spot at the Dublin Crossing in Cloverdale, 188th and Fraser Hwy, this would be

Friday & Saturday Feb 6 & 7, Dublin Crossing.

Let me know if you need more info!

take care.. see you soon.

BRINGING VANCOUVER, BC THE MUSIC OF THE EAST COAST AND THE FUN OF THE MARITIMES


hi all,
more Thursdays in our future and our past.  Sometimes I just don't get time to update this blog, my apologies. I suppose if anyone were ever unsure they would just click on the contact button here and send me a note, right?

Meanwhile, it's "Thursday = Doolin's" until you hear otherwise, so that keeps it easy.

This week is just before Robbie Burns Day (which really falls on Sunday, Jan 25) and Doolin's is having a few different fun things, we are on stage around 9:15 as usual.

Something a little different, if you are in the neighbourhood of Whistler, then come on "up"..  Brian and I are performing as a duo at the Dubh Linn Gate pub, inside the Pan Pacific and right across from the lift for Blackcomb there.  Friday, Saturday AND Sunday night.. 

see you soon!

Cheers....
