Information/Write-up

Here is an extremely rare piece of Canadiana, a peaceful xian folk album by Pat's People. They originated just after Denise Pelley and Bernadette LaPorte did their first folk Mass in St. Patrick's Church in 1971 in London, Ontario. Inside the great plaid jacket cover, we have the all-girl group singing lovely harmonies of mostly folk-rock standards of the day. Father Jim Nolan, the director of the church, made sure there was a heavy xian flavour running through the LP. The group featured Sharon Gaskell, Kelly McGlone, Bernadette LaPorte, Joanne Rynen, and a young Denise Pelley, who was only 14 years old at the time of this recording.

Denise Pelley is now a reknowned jazz vocalist in London, Ontario and has several recordings to her credit. In 1998, Denise performed her one-woman musical, Jazzabel.
