"Those attending the 31st edition of the Beamsville Strawberry Festival were entertained by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, June Carter, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison - well, not the real artists of course - but few could tell the difference! For young and old alike it was a trip back to the classic days of country music and the beginnings of rock and roll. Throughout the crowd of over two thousand, feet were tappin’ and fingers were snappin’ to an excellent tribute to this timeless music. Of course, behind every great artist is a great band and The Sun Records Show was no exception. Performances by the drummer, upright bass, guitar and keyboard players were enthusiastic, true to the spirit of the era of the music and greatly enhanced the authenticity of the show."
