WHERE IT’S AT (MONTREAL EDITION) – JANUARY 11
Here’s Where It’s At (Montreal Edition) live blues/roots for the week starting January 11 (and beyond) courtesy of Cha Cha Cha In Blue on CKUT 90.3FM:
Voici “Where It’s At” (Montréal Edition) Blues / Roots en direct pour la semaine à partir du 11 janvier (et au-delà) gracieuseté de Cha Cha Cha In Blue sur CKUT 90.3FM:

The easiest way to get your gig on this list is if you create a Facebook event for it. That way it stays up until the date of the show and provides a link so fans can get details. If you make a single post or a graphic to announce it then I (and some of your fans) will probably miss it, especially if it’s a list of several shows. Also, I’m not going to transcribe your info.

Le moyen le plus simple d’avoir votre concert sur cette liste est si vous créez un événement Facebook pour cela. De cette façon, il reste à la date de l’émission et fournit un lien afin que les fans puissent obtenir des détails. Si vous faites un seul post ou un graphique pour l’annoncer, je le manquerai probablement (et certains de vos fans), surtout s’il s’agit d’une liste de plusieurs concerts. De plus, je ne vais pas transcrire vos informations.

There are six sections/Il y a six sections:
– LIVE EVENTS IN & AROUND MONTREAL
– THE BAR SCENE
– JAM NIGHTS & OPEN MICS! (VERIFY BEFORE YOU GO!)
– WEEKLY BLUES/SWING DANCE NIGHTS
– FESTIVALS (IN THIS POST: Série Blues – Palace De Granby & Blues at The Cove)
