      The

      fling
      of
      the
      university
      year
      turned
      out
     
     
      to
      be
      packed
      and
      successful.
      Over
      five
      hundred
     
     
      students
      partic
      it
      up

      the
      Student

      hosted

      The
      band
      began
      three
      to
      four
      years
      ago
      as
      high
     
     
      school
      friends
      getting
      together.
      Since
      then,
      they
     
     
      have
      climbed
      the
      scales
      performing
      mainly
      in
     
     
      Aulantic
      Canada,
      usually
      in
      the
      various
      universities
     
     
      in
      the
      region.
      Three
      of
      the
      band
      members
      attend
     
     
      Dalhousie
      University
      and
      the
      Nova
      Scotia
      College
     
     
      of
      Arts
      and
      Culture.
      Their
      talent
      impressed
     
     
      everyone
      with
      songs
      ranging
      from
      "Red
      Wine"
      to
     
     
      "Funky
      Cold
      Medina."
      Students
      who
      were
      late
     
     
      found
      a
      long
      line-up
      and
      at
      least
      fifty
      were
      turned
     
     
      down.
      Last
      Thursday
      night
      was
      an
      ideal
      time
      for
     
     
      being
      with
      friends,
      dancing
      knee
      to
      knee,
      having
      a
     
     
      few
      drinks,
      and
      meeting
      lots
      of
      new
      and
      "long
      time
     
     
      haven’t
      scen"
      faces.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      September
      13th,
      1990
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Hard

      The
      Hard
      Rock
      Miners
      formed
      as
      a
      busking
      band
     
     
      in
      the
      summer
      of
      1987
      for
      the
      sole
      purpose
      of
     
     
      having
      fun
      -
      and
      instantly
      became
      a
      big
      hit
      on
      the
     
     
      Vancouver
      music
      scene.
      Bolstered
      by
      both
      popular
     
     
      and
      critical
      acclaim,
      in
      addition
      to
      the
      prospect
      of
     
     
      a
      cold
      winter,
      the
      Hard
      rock
      Miners
      moved
      their
     
     
      show
      into
      such
      notable
      clubs
      as
      the
      Commodore,
     
     
      the
      Town
      Pump,
      and
      the
      Railway
      Club,
      where
      they
     
     
      have
      now
      become
      mainstays.
      Indeed
      the
      Hard
     
     
      Rock
      Miners,
      with
      their
      dynamic
      stage/street
      show,
     
     
      have
      contributed
      a
      great
      deal
      to
      the-
     
     
      folk-roots-dance
      revival
      on
      Canada’s
      West
      Coast.
