Things were rockin’ in the Homalco First Nation community centre when famed guitarist George Leach played for a concert/dance supported by two local musicians.

Leach, from Sťáťimc (Lillooet), won a Juno award for the Aboriginal album of the year in 2014 for Surrender. Currently living in Regina, Leach stopped by Homalco for the concert as part of his Island tour.

Opening the show was Larry Hanson from Homalco who featured some of the songs off his Rez Warriors album. Johnny Hanuse, from Klahoose First Nation, followed him.

Curtis Blaney, the Homalco councillor who coordinated the event, said it was a great success and all proceeds would go to youth programs in the community.
