Aug 30 2010
Talk about a road trip! Fresh off the stage in
Gananoque we were on the stage at RAXX in Kingston
Sat. night. The crowds were not as large as they
usually are due the the big blues festival downtown
but by the second set the dance floor was full
and the place was hopping.
Frances was there with her crew and we can't thank
her enough for her support when we are at RAXX.
A big thank you to Tracy from the Tracycally Hip
Band for showing up and helping us party! We hear
the Kingston stalkers were there as well ... one
wonders if they will follow us on Sept. 11 dowtown
to the other place ????
As alway a big thank you to the staff and management
of RAXX for the wicked food and first class hospitality.
We love RAXX !!!!! Aug.
30 2010 We
pulled into Gananoque and the weather was perfect
for the 1000
Islands Family Boating Extravaganza. The stage
was set up on the waterfront in Joel Stone Park
and the boats were on display for Poker
Runs America. We had a blast and the hospitality
was second to none. Special thanks to Limestone
Music from Kingston ON and to Marty for an
excellent job we appreciated the quality sound
and lights ! A big thank you to Jan G. for the
big RV you set up for us behind the stage and
as well for having us perform at the festival
!
Gananoque really knows how to throw a party !!!!
Aug. 16 2010
Two jam packed nights of 80s rock & roll party
music from Bon Jovi to Grease made for one of
Ottawa's most happening places to be.
The Heart & Crown in the heart of the
Byward Market is just something you have to experience
on your own. A couple hundred people all singing
along to "Small Town Girl" errr I mean
"Don't Stop Believing" is a most awesome
thing!
Thanks to all the ladies who bought Daisy Train
tank tops and hopefully we will see you at the
next gig wearing them!
Special thanks to the staff and management
of the H & C Byward Mkt. for helping us
all feel at home. This venue is phenomenal in
that dept. Large crowds that love to party make
this one of our favourite venues to play at.
It goes without saying that we are so grateful
for the people / fans that follow us from venue
to venue. So whether you came to dance or just
to listen it is always our intent to entertain
a cross section of people with something for
everyone. Your support is appreciated and it
is the reason we do what we do. Thank You All
!!
Fri. Aug 27 we are travelling down the 401

waterfront events of the year. We will be headlining

that is open to all ages ( one of our favourites
to do ).

3 2010 YonderHill
Campground ... what more can we say ... a
home away from home ... a place filled with many
friendly faces!
We had a blast playing for the large crowd at
YonderHill. This was year number 5 for us and
we have loved playing at this place.
The fun thing about these shows is that they are
family shows so we get to ham it up for the kids
and have them participate as well.
The damn Purple Monkey made it there as well and
was caught hanging around in the rafters.
Special thanks goes out to the many familiar
faces who came to the show and helped organize
the evening and it goes without saying to Todd
& Yolanda for having DaisyTrain back!
If you are looking for an awesome weekend or
summer getaway with the family check this place
out it has something for everyone!
Head straight down Highway 17 past Renfrew to
experience YonderHill Campground !! We love
it and so will you !
Next stop for this Daisy Train Band - The
Heart & Crown in the Byward Market Ottawa

Sat morning it was back in the cars from Kingston
and off for a four hour drive to Wasaga Beach
where we played at the Stayner
Arena. It was like doing a 360 from a small club

every minute of it and as always Marty was there
to save our butts in the sound dept. What would
we do without the Sea Monkey OMG ! We love the
Monkey!

It was the end and the beginning of a new decade.
The dance floor was packed the food was plenty,
champagne was flowing and everyone was in great
shape to ring in the new year. Charliewoods is
a great new bar in Kemptville and Daisy Train
had an awesome time. Staff and management were
kind and the hospitality was great!
Check out the photos !
Make sure to take a trip to Charliewoods
in Kemptville to check out this new venue
that features live entertainment on weekends ! Dec.
27 2009 It
goes without saying that The
Lonestar is a great bar to play, the room
was lively, fun & jammed packed and the dance
floor was elbow room only from the first note
on.. Special thanks to Debbie Burke for organizing
her event, many thanks go to our fans who have
become part of the Daisy Train family from Leah,
Steve, Ruthann, Melissa, Gord, Tina, Sue, Clarisse
and the list goes on! Thanks to Maureen &
Joel, Kimberly & Dante, Luc from Uncensored,
Tracy from TnT n Dfuse.
Of course Nikko from
Lonestar and the rest of the employees are
top notch and treated us well. Bruce & Marty
gave that extra special effort to production
that Daisy Train is proud to deliver and wouldn't
do it otherwise.We also have to thank Scott
from PSL
for the lights, what a great addition to the
show these were!
The Weather was not the best and we were worried
that may affect the turn out... However, this
did not stop the mass of people that came out
to party with Daisy Train.We appreciate all
of you who made the trek through the icy weather
and we hope to see you out again.
It has been a great year for Daisy Train from
the start of 2009 with such memorable moments
as heading to Northern Quebec to a small town
called Temiscaming, to playing one of our favorite
spots in Kingston called RAXX to playing for
you at Little Texas in Belleville, to playing
to a crowd of 6000 at The Navan Fair as the
opening band for Nazareth , and who can forget
playing on Parliament Hill!
Rocking out on Boxing Day at The Lonestar was
a highlight and it just keeps getting better
and we can assure you 2010 is going to be even
better!
Dec. 14 2009 Lets
start by saying that playing such a prestigious
establishment as Parliament Hill certainly is
an honour, from the R.C.M.P. who got us through
the gates to the security who check us in through
the metal detectors (first time we have had to
do that at a gig).You were all extremely courteous,
polite and helpful. Speaking of Security ....
this is the reason why we were playing The Hill...
it was the House Of Commons Security Services
Christmas Party. These guys know how to party...What
a great time had by all, the dance floor was packed
and the band was sounding top notch thanks to
our Soundman Marty.
The meals they supplied us were to die for. This
was our 2nd time playing the Christmas party and
both times certainly will be a memory that will
stick with us all for a lifetime.
Thanks to John & Ruthanne Pollock for having
Daisy Train perform for the second time. Thanks
to everyone else who stayed on the dance floor
from the minute we got on stage to the minute
we stopped. As well thanks to Reeve for cranking
the dance music between sets..
Speaking of good times don't forget our
Boxing Day bash at The Lonestar ~ this will be the party of the year.
guaranteed!

What an interesting night
it was at PUB 31! Check out the
photo album and you’ll see the crazy costumes
and the shenanigans! The band was decked out in
full 80’s gear , well almost all of us were.
Look for Al O. our keyboard player to see his
geeky get-up, we’ve never laughed so hard!
A very big thank you to our faithful crew of DaisyTrain
fans that followed us for Halloween night.
As well thanks to Marthe and her awesome satff
for having us and being so hospitable! Oct.
18 2009 It was off to The
Navan Fairgrounds one more time to help celebrate
the tireless efforts
Of the people that make it all happen year after
year … The Volunteers!
The celebration was fittingly held in one of the
steel barns and was decorated to set the tone
for the night... a good old fashioned barn dance.
It would have been a cold night but the inside
was heated perfectly to keep everyone comfortable.
Special thanks to Luc Bergeron and the organizers
who helped to set the party up… We really
appreciated the lunch and the hospitality!!
We had a blast and these people proved once
more that they are a first class organization!
Make sure to take in the Navan
Fair next year for all the fun anyone could
want to experience in the country!
Since this was a private event there were a
few photos taken but not what we usually post.
Oct. 11 2009
Absolute insanity would best describe two nights
at OCP or O'Connor's Irish Pub. Both nights started
off a little slow but by 11:00 pm the place was
packed! We saw everything from body surfing
to flying light stands! Guess you had to be there
! Wiser's Company
was there on Friday promoting their new line
of whisky and Kim posed as the new Wiser Girl
, see her photo
.
A big thank you to the familiar faces that keep
on coming out to our shows !

was the Hottest place to be on Saturday night
bar none! Where else could you go and be surrounded
by a room full of the sexiest school girls in
Ottawa. It was our Back To School Party and so
many beautiful women were there dressed up in
their little plaid skirts and knee socks. Even
the staff dressed up. Guess you had to be there
to appreciate the scenery! But maybe not if you
head over to our
photo album and see for yourself.
As always
the food at Greenfields
is amazing and the staff know how to make you
feel at home,not to mention the top notch P.A
& Lighting in this room. A big thank you
to everyone for an awesome experience. We had
an amazing prize package of several gifts from
Beauty By Tracy Spa, Greenfields,
La Senza and Adult Fun Superstore.
Congrats to winner Christine
Groulx we hope you enjoy your gifts.
It was so hard to choose from as they all looked
so HOT.
It made for an interesting night and we are
glad everyone got into the spirit and even if
you were not dressed up the dance floor was
packed from the first song to the last.
Now if your up for a road trip follow us to
Kingston Oct 3rd as we head
to play at one of our favourite places RAXX.
And we are back in Ottawa again at O'Connor's
Oct 9 & 10
for yet another top notch party.
As always, a BIG Thank You to everyone for their
continued support. It just keeps getting better
every show. So come on out and be part of the
party, get your picture taken to show you were
there. See you at the next show!

July 20 2009 The
rain was coming down Saturday morning, we thought
this was going to be a bust, but, by mid afternoon,
sure enough the sun came out and we were is fine
shape to rock it out for the Rafters at Owl
White Water Rafting Resort. After soundcheck
we were treated to an awsome steak dinner. And
then it was party time. The Owner warned us there
was close to 400 people at the resort and sure
enough they were all at the show. By far the biggest
crowd we have seen in the three years of playing
at the resort.
This crowd was ready to party. And we delivered.
Check out the gallery and see if your in the pictures.
And if your on Facebook
you can look at our page and tag your photos.
Just do a search of DaisyTrain
on facebook and you will find us.
Special thanks to the staff at
Owl Rafting the treatment is second to none.
We look forward to our return next summer.
Next show, Yonderhill
Campground August 1st. This has been sold

What do you get when you put 1000 people together
...part the clouds...stop the rain ...and rock
an roll ?
One huge party ! It was Canada Day in Rockland
sponsored by "Club
Powers" . The stage was equipped with
the best in sound and lighting and we had a blast
rockin Canada's 142nd Birthday in style! Rockland
knows how to throw a party!
Special thanks to Marty
, Bruce and crew for an awesome all pro production,
you guys made the show come truly alive!
It's always great to see familar faces and Valerie
and Isabelle were there to lend a hand on stage
..thank you ladies!

place to play and we are exctied to be back at
Club Powers on Sept. 18th.

( have fun guys ) and the bands next adventure
happens at OWL
Rafting Resort on the Ottawa River July 18.
What a great summer this is startting out to be
for DaisyTrain ! June 29 2009 A
few hundred people showed up for the Beacon 50
Live festival in South Stormont / Ingleside. It
was an all ages show which we love doing since
it gives the young people a chance to participate
with a live band. The kids were rocking and rolling
on stage in the third set with grins from ear
to ear ! We think it's important to include our
audiences in our shows and these kids were stars
with their moves!
Special thanks to Kevin Amelotte the Coordinator
of Events, Programs and Marketing for South
Stormont... you did an awesome job on this special
day, everything went according to plan and was
very well organized! We had the opportunity
to meet the opening band called "The
Am Fm Band" these guys had been together
for 24 years, a feat unheard of in this business.
It showed as these guys were very tight and
brought the sounds of the 50's & 60's alive.
It cannot go unsaid that our Sound Tech expert
Marty Vaillant was a "Key" player
in this event. As always Marty went above and
beyond with everything from organizing the equipment
for the stage to giving us the quality sound
that we have come to appreciate every time this
guy steps up to the board... Thank You Marty
you are the best in the Biz and we appreciate
you immensely !! The Daisy
Train Band

It's been a year since we had the pleasure of
working with Mark and his photography has been
pivotal in our promotional materials.
Have a peek at his site to see the world class
calibre of his work. Mark
Cooper Jan. 27 2009
Just like a scene out of the movie Rockstar as
we walked passed security to get to our dressing
room with deli trays a stocked cooler and dinner
waiting for us. Not to mention the stage was so
big you almost needed a ride to get from one side
to another.. We were pleasantly surprised at how
nicely set up they are in the beautiful town of
Temiscaming
Quebec. It was a nice drive up Friday with
a stop in North Bay for the night then in the
morning on to the venue. What a surprise it was
to walk into an arena and see a stage that size!
We love Temiscaming
and we look forward to our return. Special thanks
to the organizers and the stage crew who really
know how to throw an event! As well to the friendly
people of Temiscaming who partied till the wee
hours! One of the organizers noticed our slogan
"We Do It All Night Long" and said
"That's what we want" so party we
did!
We are back from our little tour up north and
we look forward to seeing you here in town at
O’Connor’s this weekend…You
know its going to be a party… sign up

Another sell out night at Greenfields,
The night was perfect, from the fantastic dinner
to the minute the lights went on at the end of
the night, We dropped the big screen TV at 5 minutes
to midnight and watched the New Years Eve countdown
with everybody in the bar on the dance floor.
The party continued on into the new year with
a full dance floor and Rock n' Roll the way it
should be.We had a blast and a BIG Thank You to
everyone who made it out. Check the gallery for
pictures to see if your there.
We are heading out on the road to Temiscaming
up in Northern Quebec, we are really looking
forward to that show. It is a little far out of
town for most but that doesnt mean we will not
see some of our friends following us up there
as we have seen before.

and energy coming from this crowd was second
to none!.These people were here to party and
celebrate.
The meals were excellent.The whole night went
off perfectly and we thank everyone for having
as much fun as we did.
We do not bring cameras with us into private
events so we have no pictures to show you how
much fun we had, but, Deanna said they took
a ton of photos and will send them to us when
they return from their honeymoon in Hawaii.
We want
to wish both Dan & Deanna a happy life together
and thank you again for having Daisy Train be
part of your big day...

What a great way to enjoy the weather and beautiful
scenery than to be playing just off the Ottawa
River at Owl
Rafting.
We love this place, not many venues tell you
to come for dinner after your soundcheck and
give you steak dinner and a cold beer on the
house and then offer you a great breakfast in
the morning. Classy place and an excellent courteous
staff.
The crowds were ready to party and St
Lawrence University students were in great
shape after a day on the rapids. They packed
the dance floor and had a great time...We love
Owl Rafting
and we look forward to our return next summer...
As always check out the Gallery to see if you
are there!
Special thanks to Marty (a.k.a. Sea
Monkey) for a fantastic job on the
sound board.

I guess it is safe to say that we can call Yonderhill
Campground a home away from home. This was
our third year back there and of course we are
back again next August long weekend. Tradition
shall we call it!!!!
.It was good to see Todd &
Yolanda and all the rest of the familiar faces
from both the staff, seasonals and of course
the Daisy Train fans. Nobody is as close a fan
as Steve & Leah Brannigan. This was their
second time out to Yonderhill when we played,
and this time came with more close friends of
Daisy Train. Ruthann & John Pollock. They
all just fit right in now. Of course there are
others we can't forget, Natalie G., Jaymz Hawley,
Maureen & Joel Morghese, Stephan & Niko,
Brenda, Luc, Nick, & Tristan - maybe someday
we will jam together...Duane from
Cheshire Grin . There are so many of you
all that come out to each and every show. We
love what we do and we love to see you all there.

Wow how can you beat partying it up in a club
like RAXX

being celebrated and we hope that we helped
to create some memories.

As with any first time event the word of mouth
can naturally take a little longer than event
organizers would like, but that being said the
First
Annual RiverPalooza at The River Club in Portage
Du Fort was a blast! The turn out was low
probably due to heavy rain and other complications
but the show went on. Half Cutt and Hyrd Gunz
were there with us rockin the stage and what
a stage it was! Thanks to Ted Howard for over
seeing the building of such a large stage, lots
of room to move!
We would like to take this
opportunity to thank Ted Howard and the staff
at the River Club for our accommodations; you
really need to check this place out, beautifully
decorated, clean rooms. The River Club is a
class act.
Marty was the sound technician
for this event and he did an all pro job helping
to bring the best out of each act with his skills
on the board. Thanks Marty as usual you go above
and beyond !
To everyone that showed up
from Ottawa to see the show a huge thank you
for keeping the faith and waiting until the
rain subsided! Thanks to Heather Overland for
some of the great pics, we snagged them and
added to our facebook group.
We have had plenty of
people asking about where the
photo shoot was done.Special thanks
to the biggest and best stage
in town!
