Powder Blues to perform here

‘hough singer/guitarlat
Tom Lavin recently told a
writer that his dream was to
take his group, Powder
Blues, to Japan, he probably
won't have to look nearly
that far for popular accep-
tance. Powder Blues are al-
ready legend in Canada, es-
pecially Vancouver, the
band’s home base.

Lavin refers to the group's
growth asa “street success,”
a sentiment echoed by Pow-
der Blues’ manager, Bruce
Allen who came into the pic-
ture’ after Lavin had dis-
tributed and sold over 15
thousand copies of the band’s
deput LP, Uncut on his own
Blue Wave Records.

Almost immediately after
Allen became the group's
manager, Powder Blues
signed for Canadian distri-
bution at Blue Wave with
RCA Records. During the
course of the summer, Uncut
became double platinum |— + |

here to reproduce it, I think
the blues has a magical hyp-
notic quality, and that same
quality can be applied con-
temporarily. I wanted to
keep the simplicity of the
blues and the hypnotic qual-
ity, and produce it in a sort of
1980's style which is why I
call it (the original label) Blue
Wave.

At a recent engagement,
the Powder Blues opened for

that not only did the audience’

HIM RAINBOW

Tenderness —

Like the azure canopy of space

His faithfulness and loyalty
to me — his home —
his country... /
his dopendability,

is like the promise made
80 long ago

when God set His covenant span
in the sky.

Make special plea

WINNIPEG (CP( — A the-
atre group’ and. a_ ballet
dancer pleaded with the fed-
era} cultural review com-
mittee for special recognition
of artists, the men and
women who create Canadian
culture.

In separate briefs to the
committee, The Manitoba
Theatre Workshop and
David Peregrine of the Royal
Winnipeg Ballet suggested
individual artists are treated
as second-class citizens and
that new funding policies on
the part of agencies such as
the Canada Council could

. improve their status.

Michael Snook, represent-
ing the theatre group, said

funding of large institutions,
particularly in the prairie
region, is frequently at the
expense of the individual ar

tist on whose work those in- ,

stitutions. must thrive.

“The individual artist feels
financially like a second-class
citizen and definitely a li-
ability rather than an asset to
the community," he said.

Peregrine said artists want
that portion of their income
which comes from grants to
be exempt from federal in-
come tax.

Non-taxable grants would
be more effective and
wouldn't increase costs ot the
funding bodies, he added.
