PENTICTON – Classic rock and rollers will be able to “Feel it Again” at this year’s Penticton Peach Festival.

Honeymoon Suite returns to Penticton to rock Peachfest on Friday, Aug. 5. The rockers made a previous appearance to Peachfest in 2013, appearing in front of a capacity crowd at Okanagan Lake Park.

The band recorded 17 hit singles in Canada through the 80s and 90s, including such hits as “Love Changes Everything,” “New Girl Now,” “Burning in Love,” and “Feel it Again.”

Several of the band’s tunes also went to Hollywood, in such TV shows as “Miami Vice,” and the movie “Lethal Weapon,” starring Mel Gibson.

Johnnie Dee continues to lead the group along with veteran lead guitarist Derry Grehan. Gary Lalonde, Dave Betts and Peter Nunn are the other long time members of the band.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
