Music for the Gut      

Thurs. & Fri. – 7:30p.m.        

YouTube

There’s no denying, we have a ton of talent here in Saskatoon and an annual charity showcase is going ahead online. Music for the Gut is a fundraiser for Crohns and Colitis Canada and in its decade-long history has raised $157,000 for the charity. The 2020 show had to be cancelled but, where there’s a will, there’s a way and the Houghton family has called on its talented friends to put together a virtual performance. The show is free but donations are gratefully accepted.
