PENTICTON – This year’s Penticton Peach Festival will host a reunion for a well known Canadian band.

Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts are reuniting for the first time in two years to take to the stage at the 68th annual Peach Festival on Wednesday, August 5.

Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts haven’t performed together since 2013 when they played the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver.

The band’s first top ten hit album, “Something to Live For,” resulted in three hit singles and brought them a Juno Award. Four more albums and 20 single releases followed, three albums earning gold status.

The group disbanded in 1997 but Barney Bentall still gets together occasionally with the Legendary Hearts.

“It might be the only chance you have to see them together this year… or for several years,” said entertainment director Bill Kolter.

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.
