The Place, one again was the place to be, Friday, Sept. 23. While I missed the Good Love and just missed The Bridgette Yarwood band, I was in time for local Tragically hip tribute “The Hip Trip.”
guitarist Mark Hall and bassist Jack Horne, took advantage of wireless units by wandering out into the middle of the soon to be filled dance floor.
They played a brief set of Hip hits.
Gabe Thaine did his best Gord Downie Impression on a set which was mostly the highlights of the Road Apples CD beginning with “ Little Bones,” and “Three Pistols.”
They showed the mellower side of the Hip on “ Bobcaygeon” and picked up the tempo for “ Blow at High Dough.”
They wound up their brief set by digging deep on “ I’ll believe In You” form the Hip’s debut “ Up To Here.”
