Bond concert review

The James Bond tribute concert Saturday night was a really good show. A number of Bond actors were in the audience, including the ogre-like guy who played Jaws, Richard Kiel, Honor Blackman (Pussy Galore), and of course, Sir Roger Moore. The Quebec Symphony Orchestra was definitely on Saturday night, the highlight being when Shirley Bassey, the original singer of Bond themes, belted out Goldfinger like there was no tomorrow (listen to original by clicking link.) Great night.

The Bond festival was the brainchild of Hillary Saltzman, the daughter of original Bond films producer Harry Saltzman. A few years ago Hillary (who lives in nearby Stoneham) found out her father was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec. That's why the festival was held here. Hopefully it will become an annual thing.
