“Our client chose SQUID/Lively Youth for their closing banquet. They wanted to give their attendees a good show featuring local talent that shows off the cultural influences of our region in a fun and energetic performance. What the artists delivered was so much more than even we anticipated with the audience leaping to their feet at the end to a standing ovation. The performance started with a dark room as SQUID entered with such high energy incredible talent and the room was captivated. Lively Youth took the stage as SQUID finished their performance and again wowed the attendees with traditional songs, fantastic vocals, high energy fiddle and overall wonderful talent. I would not hesitate to hire both again to dazzle attendees with performers who are among the best talent our region has to offer.”

“SQUID’s energy is unbelievable!”

“Remember those old bank ads set to that Todd Rundgren song that went, “I don’t wanna work, I just wanna bang on de drum all day”? Halifax ensemble Squid has managed to combine working and banging (percussively, that is) for nearly seven years now, performing as buskers and in theatres.”

“SQUID is a great example of the incredible talent being produced in Nova Scotia. High energy, unique and passionate, this group of musicians entertained thousands of Bostonians at the 2012 Boston Tree Lighting. They were a pleasure to work with and their enthusiasm and unique skills ensured the people of Boston certainly knew Nova Scotia was in town!”
