Remembrance Day at the Legion

Claire, Dennis & Original ESP Drummer Gary Edwards played in the lounge of the Branch 95 Legion in Smiths Falls on Remembrance Day. Dipping back into music of the past. And were joined late by Sax player Peter Woods of the Present Day ESP. They all enjoyed a trip down memory lane.

Happy Birthday Dennis!!!

A big crowd turned out at the Cottage to help Dennis Celebrate his Birthday. With lots of friends playing music all day they played as The ESP, The Continentals & an Assortment of Friends. Then the Younger Guys took over & played more music.

ESP has been playing at Rogers Pig Roast out on Otty Lake for many years. This year Claire & Dennis played with The Continentals. The music went from 3pm til after Midnight & everyone had a good time(except the pig).

The Next Generation of Musicians playing at Claire's Party. Dennis Staples Jr on Guitar, Derek Porter on Bass Guitar & John Bowes Singing & Guitar with Derek.

Claire's Retirement Party was a huge succes thanks to all the friends that came to play music or to listen to music & spend the day together.

Videos Now Added!

I just added a few videos of The ESP playing for the Chocolate Festival in Smiths Falls at Centennial Park. Look over in the Links area to the right to view Brown Eyed Girl & Into the Mystic. Sorry the video is a little shaky since I didn't think to bring a Tripod to the park so the camera was handheld.

Canada Day outside the Legion in Smiths Falls. The ESP played for a large crowd all day.


The Continentals also played after The ESP with Band Members Paul Hanrahan on Bass, Billy Bowes on Guitar, Gary Edwards on Drums, Claire Porter Vocals & Dennis Staples Lead Guitar.
