as tom stepped onto stage he made a connection with the people. He made everyone comfortable with his humour and lightheartness. During the concert he sang from his own experience and talent. The band really wanted to be part of the entertainment and were enjoying themselves.
Tom was relaxing and very enjoyable. Beverley Mahood is not one of my favorites.
Only thing that irritated me was the noise coming from the casino from time to time. Was okay with the noise when there was music, but when people were on stage and speaking, it was very distracting. Performance, as usual, was amazing from all performers
Tom Jackson is surely the next Canacdian icon. His huge personality, contagious good humor and loving spirit flood the room. Suddenly we are all gratefull to be giving. He brings the true spirit of Christmas to every city he touches and each year with more enthusiasim. Wonderful show.
Loved being able to meet him and talk to him! Been a fan for over 30 years.
I have been attending Tom Jackson's Christmas events for over 15 years and have never been to one that I didn't enjoy... this one was no exception. I took a friend that had never attended before and she says she wants to make this a yearly event too. Great show, Tom... keep the light burning.
The entire event was fantastic. Why oh why have I never gone before? This event had it all: Humour, outstanding musical arrangements, and amazing musicianship. The vocals were inspiring and left me wanting more.
Once again, a great show by Tom Jackson and his band. Pear and Another Girl were the opening acts and they were also terrific. The setting, in an old church, was a wonderful backdrop to the up-lifting music. And all the profits to Winnipeg Harvest. The best $25 you will ever spend to see a concert !
Once again, Tom Jackson did not disappoint the large crowd gathered at Westminster United Church on Saturday for his annual “Singing for Supper: An Evening of Song and Celebration.” Proceeds and food donations from the night went entirely to Winnipeg Harvest, which has had a 21 percent increase in the number of people using its services since last year. “The need is greater now than it has ever been,” the Canadian singer said, which he again reiterated to enforce the call for action. Harvest feeds more than 57,000 people a month, with half of its clients being infants and children. A number of seniors and refugees also depend on Winnipeg Harvest for their nourishment. In the prelude to the concert, audience members were entertained by the HMCS Chippawa Navel Reserve Band Brass Quintet. Opening prior to Jackson were Pear, a husband and wife duo from Calgary, with Denis Dufresne on the fiddle and mandolin, and his wife Lynae on the violin. Sisters Carly and Britt McKillip from “One More Girl” also provided opening act entertainment, with a moving rendition of O Holy Night. Winnipeg Harvest works with more than 320 neighbourhood food programs in the city alone, and more than a dozen food programs in rural Manitoba. The need for donations continues to grow for the organization, as the demand for food is constantly rising. “Unfortunately, 25 years later, the need is greater than ever before,” executive director David Northcott said. “However, the passion to reduce hunger and poverty is still strong.” Northcott thanked Jackson for his devotion and passion for helping fill the hunger void, calling him his ‘cherished friend.’ Jackson’s efforts have raised over $11 million for food banks, family service agencies and disaster relief.
