Ottawa honouring Jasmine with Miss J’s Cocktails for Cancer
Everyone in the Ottawa area is invited to drop by the upstairs of Aulde Dubliner & Pour House in Ottawa, ON after 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 23 to honour YACC alumna Jasmine Singh with a drink, live music, and good company.
Jasmine lost her cancer battle a couple of years ago and Chris Pierre and Merrill Ed wanted to do something to remember her and to help people who are still fighting their own battles. A portion of their proceeds will be donated to Young Adult Cancer Canada.
You can purchase tickets for $20 here, invite your friends, or make a donation toward the event. The evening will also feature raffles and auctions.

Tonight’s Lineup… review
“I mentioned that Neil Emberg and Hadrian’s Wall had a new CD and it is a beauty—recorded live last year in the beer tent at the Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville Ontario in front of one of the wildest crowds you can imagine. Feeding off the energy of this mob of wild Canadians, Hadrian’s Wall put in one fine performance which was well-recorded with ambient noise filtered out nicely so that you get the energy and feeling while hearing the music perfectly. Want to know how it sounds in the first row, right in front of the stage? Well, here you go. As far as the beer tent smell, you don’t want to know. You also get to miss the flying beer. That’s why kilts get to smelling that way after a couple games.”
