The Big Story of Small Potatoes
Filmmaker digs up lost music scene of Niagara

Niagara man Paul Miil has just released an enlightening documentary on the lost music scene of Niagara from the 60's and early 70's.

It is a portrait of the kids of the music scene, told from the perspective of those same teenagers 40 years later.

Paul says, "I grew up in the area in the 70's and 80's and I even played in some garage bands, but I never knew that there was such a thriving music industry in the streets of Niagara. These guys toured from the East coast to Thunderbay.. and they were sixteen years old. I mean everyone knew that Peart came from here, but none of us knew about the scene that he came from."

Paul stumbled onto the lost Niagara music scene while researching a concept for a documentary on local musican Neil Peart. Upon discovering the scope of the scene, Paul changed the subject of his documentary from the one kid to the many kids who were involved.

If you would like further information or to purchase a copy please go to www.miil.ca or contact him directly: contact@miil.ca

NIAGARA ROCK AND ROLL

2010-03-14T16:56:00.000-04:00

During the winter I was invited to attend the debut showing of a Rockumentary produced by Paul Miil called "The Big Story of Small Potatoes" which covers the History of Rock and Roll in the St. Catharine's/Golden Horseshoe region in the Golden Years 1964 thru 1974. For those of you who were "there" (the 60s and 70s) it's a must see look back. If you'd like a copy of the video go to http://www.miil.ca/ and you can order it on line. I bought several copies and have watched it a number of times along with friends.

The upcoming concert presents some of the key individuals from that era, on stage for one night only. The presentation is on April 19, 2010 at the Center for the Arts at Brock University. More details at the following link. http://www.miil.ca/concert.html

I'll be there!
