     ted and performed quite 
     
     well despite the Barn's 
     
     stage limitations- some— 
     
     thing which this band would 
     
     be unaccustomed to. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Winter Carnival's

     Taquila, the once Is— 
     
     land based band put on 
     
     their usual show last 
     
     week. The crowd seened 
     
     sanavhat laid back during 
     
     the first set by‘the v 
     
     group, as if they were 
     
     a bit down after Harl- 
     
     eoruin. The band's att- 
     
     itude and choice of [Mus- 
     
     ic for the evening was 
     
     a little out of tune with 
     
     U.P.E.I. 's pub goers. 
     
    

    
     The‘crowd danced to ‘ 
     
     the songs that were danc- 
     
     able but the dance floor 
     
     was never over—crowded 
     
     during the second and 
     
     third sets. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     Saturday night brought 
     
     out the creative side of 
     
     people as the Barn played 
     
     host to a near capacity 
     
     Crowd of Halloween II 
     
     patiers. Although the. band, 
     
     Was laCking in entertaJ'Jment

     A good time was had by 
     
     all in attendance ard espec-

     The band recorded on 
     
     video tape most of their 
     
     original songs for the 
     
     use in a forth caning 
     
     video presentation of 
     
     their music. 
     
    

    
     They somewhat have 
     
     a very inflated opinion 
     
     of their talent and it 
     
     is very evident by their 
     
     mannerian, like beginning 
     
     almost an hour late. In 
     
     the future, the Student 
     
     Union should book bands 
     
     from 10 - 2 since the 
     
     bands seem not to want to 
     
     start until ten o'clock.

     rewarded with prizes includ-

     from taking advantage of 
     
     their last chance to 
     
    

    
     with Winter Carnival '83

     Most people vie/wed this 
     
     as the biggest of the three 
     
     Main Events at the Barn. ‘ 
     
     And rightly so as Harlequin 
     
     is one of Canada's most 
     
     successful recording acts. 
     
    

    
     The band played all 
     
     their best knovm songs of 
     
     their two albums as well 
     
     as few unreleased original 
     
     tunes. 
     
    

    
     The band was well accen- 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     Trixter, a local Is- 
     
     land band frcm Surrmerside 
     
     did a very good job Fri- 
     
     day night at the Co-ed, 
     
     despite the somfi prob- 
     
     lens associated with the 
     
     Confederation Centre's 
     
     Ballroom area. This local 
     
     seven piece banddid a 
     
     large crosssection of mus 
     
     ic includingold rock n' 
     
     roll, jazz, blues, and 
     
     easy listening. The even— 
     
     ing seemed to be enjoyed 
     
     by all that attended the 
     
    
   
   
    
     Co—ed. The hi—light of

     The Ballroom floor was 
     
     almost always full during
