For an incredible 32 years from 1964 to 1996 The Carlton Showband evolved as one of the most respected and recognized bands in all of Canada. With a generous helping of Irish, a dash or two of down home Country, a touch of pop, Rock and even classical.... their show was a recipe for happiness from day one.
The 'rocket of success' was fully launched in 1967 when the band joined 'The Pig N' Whistle', a television show that for eleven seasons would be one of the highest rated shows in the CTV collection. From that point on, it was an incredible 32 years of non-stop entertaining from Vancouver Island in the West to St. John's Newfoundland in the East. It's safe to say there wasn't a town anywhere that hadn't seen at least one memorable performance by this infectious group.
The music, the comedy, the variety, the laughter and the tears made it all happen - a show anyone could enjoy. The awards came in droves - including Junos, Big Country Awards, and both gold and platinum albums. Whether in a big city theatre, on a small stage at an outdoor festival, headlining a major exhibition, convention, or a big show in the community arena, the result was always the same - an evening of pure happiness.
Now after 14 years of retirement the boys have decided to re-unite with their fans in a cross Canada reunion tour! This is one reunion you won't want to miss!
