A Success To Its Max!
 |
| From SOCAN: a HACE(TM) Mini Series |
The Brampton Arts Council was pleased to host an over filled room with attentive musicians and music fans alike, eager to learn and update themselves with the latest information from Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN).The seminar, presented by the knowledgeable Rodney Murphy, SOCAN’s Education & Outreach Manager was held this past Tuesday, February 8th at the Brampton Golf Club. This was the first HACE Mini Series held this year.
Murphy kept the room uplifted with his humorous character focusing on the importance of becoming a member of SOCAN and how to protect musician’s rights and earn residuals in music artistry. During his carefully planned and thorough presentation, Murphy answered questions from enthusiastic participants, with a definite note of experience and passion for the business. Rodney discussed SOCAN’s status as a non-profit organization that is kept alive to ensure the proper distribution of funds among well-deserved artists, song writers and musicians.
In conclusion, everyone left more informed, motivated to improve their existing status and looking forward to future HACE workshops, Mini or otherwise. See more images from the workshop here

Some advice
jkdcanada has left a new comment on your post OPEN MIC!:
Hello!
To anyone that might actually read this. I'm looking for an open mic comedy night some where near the Brampton or Mississauga area. I know there is quite a few in Toronto, but I wouldn't mind something closer to home. Any suggestions from some organizers or comedians that have been to an open mic that they like would be much appreciated!
My response:
Here's what I did find that's within the area, ranging from Etobicoke to Mississauga. As with any information you're given, verify it before taking it as a given.

I spoke to a couple of people at the Fox and there's a lot of confusion in regards to open mic spots for comedians. So I'll just give you what I found:
There's also a comedian night on Tuesday's. One person told me that it was an open mic. Another person told me it wasn't. So you can take your chances with that and see what happened.
Modified update (January 18th, 2011): Spoke to one of the organizers and he clarified URBAN NIGHT COMEDY(Click on the link for more information.) at the Enfield Fox EVERY TUESDAY. To register for the event, email: urbannight@canumakemlaugh.com
