It’s with regret that I let all of the QuinteLive fans know that Jeremy MacLaine and Ashley Matheson have moved on and are no longer part of the QuinteLive team. I’m going to miss both of them and what they brought to QuinteLive – Jeremy has been here since Day 1 and was our main [...]
It’s the last day of 2010 and as is customary with all media types – that means just one thing. It’s time for a list. There is no question that 2010 was the best year ever for live music in the Quinte area. We enjoyed terrific headlining events at the Empire Theatre- inside and out – [...]
Christmas is officially one month away but when do you start to get into the Christmas spirit? The Americans have things so much easier than us.

If heavy metal is dead, don’t tell me about it. Or the 4,000 or so fans that packed the Sound Academy in Toronto for the Black Label Society Berzerkus Tour on Friday night. It wasn’t that long ago that Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit and other so-called modern music insiders were happy to tell people [...]
This week’s announcement that the City Hotel has been sold and will be renovated into a new restaurant and upscale apartments has been met with a positive response by folks that yearn for downtown Belleville to become the vibrant hub of the city that it once was.
