Catch this sweet show in our Front Room with some of London's local young singer/songwriters... 

It'll be a great time!!!
 

He's born and bred in Windsor, Ontario, the city of roses and the automotive capitol of Canada. His neighbours to the north in Detroit, Michigan paved the way for what is rock and soul music today. Pat's brand of music doesn't quite showcase the sound of Motown Detroit, but it's got the soul and spirit to measure up. He doesn't tour with a band or record with one. He prefers to keep the decisions and performances up to himself, and he's still able to paint a landscape with a song as if a hundred people had given their advice.
