THE PROMOTER BY ED ARNOLD WITH BRIAN EDWARDS NOW IN STOCK!! He's been in almost every town and city in Canada, promoted and booked acts that millions of people have loved including Red Green, Stompin' Tom Connors, Tommy Hunter, Frank Mills, Carroll Baker, Rita MacNeil, Charley Pride, Kitty Wells and so many others throughout Canada and the United States. While the entertainers, theatres, arenas and concert halls will know Brian's name, you probably don't. Legendary Canadian... singer/songwriter Stompin' Tom Connors often listened to the stories of his long-time promoter and suggested it would make a good book. Brian Edwards has always kept his name in the background, grinding out a successful career in the very difficult business of entertainment since he was 17 years old. In fact, while growing up in Peterborough, Ontario he was the youngest person ever to have been granted a booking agency license in North America. Now, after promoting over five thousand shows for over one hundred artists, for the first time he opens up about his life, the lives of people he has been privileged to work with and his story about building a successful career from nothing to one of the best secrets in Canada. Journalist Ed Arnold, along with Brian, takes readers into Brian's world and unveils the true stories behind some of his favourite people and special moments, on the way to becoming - THE PROMOTER. This 420-page hard cover book is filled with stories and some never before seen photographs and takes readers on a journey through 40 years of Rocklands Entertainment. Stompin' Tom was so rightthe life of legendary promoter Brian Edwards makes for a very interesting book.
