The VIDEO page has been redesigned, and now contains links to a handful of new videos, along with a new section - videos recommended by Allister. Check it out!

Allister has taken the 1st prize, at the 2nd Annual Cambridge Songwriting Competition!

The judges hated to award top honours to the same songwriter two years in a row, but couldn't resist when Allister hit 'em hard with the 1-2-3 combination of "No Games", "This House" and "Still Wild".

2nd place was awarded to Two Twenty Two, the husband-wife songwriting team of Warren Muzak and Amanda Brewer. 3rd place was awarded to Michael Kelly Cavan.

The highlight of the performance for Allister was when his 12-year-old son, Sean Malcolm, joined him on-stage to perform "Still Wild". Watch the video of this performance on the VIDEO page.

Congratulations to all the performers throughout the competition but especially to the performers who made the finals night such an incredible night of original music. Special thanks to Robbie Hancock and RJ Entertainment for working so hard to host this songwriting competition.

Congratulations to Robbie Hancock and his RJ Entertainment staff on surviving the execution of three simultaneous songwriting competitions.

These competitions are a terrific vehicle for promoting original music and for bringing the songwriting community together. And at the end of the day, someone gets to go home with some prize money...

The disastrous January 12th earthquake in Haiti has been in every newspaper, on every television screen, and across the internet. The response from relief agencies and supporters worldwide has been incredible.

Locally, Bradley/Robinson have been doing our small part to encourage people at our live shows to donate to the relief effort. Over 4 shows in January, we reached $862 in donations, including $616 from the generous patrons at Lulu's Dine and Dance in Kitchener.

Every contribution helps bring aid to people desperate for food, shelter and medical attention, and the need for us to support re-building efforts will continue long after the news channels turn their attention elsewhere, so please do what you can to contribute to a relief agency of your choice.
