Hardstock 08 -a special benefit for Scott Harding


On Feb 16 2008 at about 3 am, Scott Harding was seriously injured in a hit and run collision in NYC. He has no health insurance. He is a musician, artist and friend. 100% of the net proceeds from this show went to help him.

Hardstock 08 featured the cream of Vancouver musicians from the last 30 years.

This benefit show took place April 25 at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC. It was historic. It was glorious. The rock was pushed up the hill, the pink elephant in the room was given free booze; and pigs did fly.
Headlining was a super group created for the occasion called The Hard Ones, featuring (in alphabetical order) Barney Bentall, Doug Elliot, Paul Hyde, Colin James, Simon Kendall, Colin Nairne, Craig Northey, Pat Steward...Neil Osborne, Brad Merritt and Dave Genn (from 54/40), Tom Harrison, Ra McGuire and Smitty from Trooper; The Pointed Sticks; The Jazzmanian Devils; John Mann from Spirit of the West with his son Harlan Mann; Bughouse 5; Kinnie Starr; Hardrock Miners; the Furies; I Braineater; Go Four 3, Swank and the Mike Webster band.
The show was opened by Mayor Sam Sullivan. All told we raised almost $25,000. Not bad for a 3 week promotion when they said it could not be done.
Next up.............Holy Hardstock!!! - a 3 ring circus in a Cathedral on June 13. This is a sit down family event. Bring the kids and Mom, Dad, and Grandparents. After all, Hardstock is all about people pulling together to help out.
