David Roche
A Night of Humour and Inspiration

into a compelling message that leaves audiences entertained and encouraged to face their own personal challenges. The story of his heroic journey from shame to strength opens hearts to courage, laughter and inspiration.
David’s performances and presentations have won standing ovations across the United States (including at the White House!), in Canada, England, and
Australia, where he headlined at the Sydney 2000 Olympics Arts Festival.

At this critical time when the new media environment is being molded and the traditional news industry is in a state of decline, creative approaches to journalism are urgently needed.
Yet politicians and policy makers are poised to further support the big conglomerates that got us into this mess in the first place. Canwest and other corporate media may even get a government bailout. At the same time, CBC is slashing jobs and programming under unprecedented cuts, and there is no end in sight.
-If news financed by big business is failing, what alternatives do we have?
-What role could/should CBC play?
-What other models for media are available?
-What can we do?
Vancouver’s leading independent media makers lead a panel and discussion about proposed government bailouts of corporate media, the impacts of cuts to the public broadcaster, and exciting alternative models for media.

AHA MEDIA encourages everyone to go out and hear Bob Petterson and other local Vancouver musicians play on May 23rd 🙂
Bob Petterson says ” I’m fortunate that I get to work with some amazing local musicians and that two terrific local singer/songwriters are willing to make use of my modest talent on bass guitar.
The headliner for the show is The Mike Webster Band. More information available here: http://www.mikewebster.moonfruit.com/
Mike’s set will largely feature his original songs along with a handful of diverse, and surprising, covers. Magnetic West features all-original music by Randall T. Carpenter who also happens to be my compatriot, and the lead guitarist, in The Mike Webster Band.
Main thing is come out and have some fun! ” 🙂
