Music PEI Week closes with awards gala
Music PEI Week wrapped up this weekend with a gala awards show hosted by comedian Jonathan Torrens at the Confederation Centre in Charlottetown, with close to a thousand people in attendance. The thirteen musical performances included Al Tuck, who performed a song from his latest release, while Lennie Gallant closed the show with “Peter’s Dream” accompanied by Dennis Ellsworth, Meaghan Blanchard and Catherine MacLellan. MacLellan was the big award-winner, taking five of the six categories she was nominated for.
