Since its first appearance on The Pig ‘n’ Whistle Show in 1967, the Juno Award winning Carlton Showband has entertained audiences across North America with a sure-fire formula for a good time: a unique blend of Irish, country, pop, rock and classical music and generous portions of humour! 

For an incredible 35 years from 1964 to 1996 The Carlton Showband evolved as one of the most respected and recognized bands in all of Canada. The “rocket of success” was fully launched in 1967 when the band joined The Pig ‘n’ Whistle, a television show that for eleven seasons would be one of the highest rated shows in the CTV collection. From that point on, it was an incredible 35 years of non-stop entertaining from Vancouver Island in the West to St. John’s Newfoundland in the East. It’s safe to say there wasn’t a town anywhere that hadn't seen at least one memorable performance by this infectious group.

The music, the comedy, the variety, the laughter and the tears made it all happen - a show anyone could enjoy. The awards came in droves - including Juno Awards, Big Country Awards, and both gold and platinum albums. Whether in a big city theatre, on a small stage at an outdoor festival, headlining a major exhibition, convention, or a big show in the community arena, the result was always the same - an evening of pure happiness. Now after 10 years of retirement the boys have decided to re-unite with their fans in a cross Canada reunion tour! This is one reunion you won’t want to miss!
