Sebastian Bach Comes Home To Peterborough And Eats At Riley's, Hot Belly Mama's... and Harvey's (And *Update*: Gets Arrested)

Sebastian Bach, who grew up right here in the Patch, has been back in the hood the past couple days with a couple buddies, and has tweeted several local spots he's been at, including Hot Belly Mama's, Riley's, and Harvey's. So if you thought you'd just been spotting Sebastian Bach lookalikes all over the Patch, well, you may well have... but it might also have been the real Sebastian Bach.

The Wooden Sky Performing Outside The Red Dog

Because it's not enough to just perform inside The Red Dog, don't you know. Bands also play outside it, too. Think The Silver Hearts, for example. And now The Wooden Sky after a recent gig there.

So who's going to rock the sidewalk outside of the Red Dog next? Arkells, perhaps?

Peterborough Residents Go Into The Dragons' Den


Last night on CBC's Dragons' Den, two local residents took on the dragons panel in hopes of a deal. Dr. Penny Forrester and Kerri Sedore (pictured above) of Professional Weight Loss Services were asking for $250,000 for 25% of their company, but unfortunately their business plan wasn't of interest to the dragons.

This is not the first time an entrepreneur from Peterborough has tried to strike a deal on the show. A couple of years ago, the owner of the Eco Laundry Room went on the show hoping the dragons would assist in helping with their plans of expansion. (Eco Laundry Room continues to have their location here on Bethune Street, as well as one in Toronto.) 

So who in the Patch has the million dollar idea that the dragons would bite on?

PtboPics: The Sadies, Andy Maize of Skydiggers and Devin Cuddy (Jim's son) at Gordon Best Theatre

Last night, Gordon Best Theatre (above the Only Café) was closed down for a private party and PtboCanada was there. Among the bands performing to the packed crowd were Peterborough's Magpie, The Sadies (first pic below) and Andy Maize of Skydiggers (second pic below, standing, far left on mic), who performed a stripped down set of songs, including "I Will Give You Everything". Alongside Andy on guitar was none other than Devin Cuddy (second and third pic below), the son of Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy. It was quite a night.
