of the hustling tavern attendants intrudes into conversation in the lobby there stands a long line of customers waiting their turn to linger in this picture from dante such are the usual surroundings for any entertainer oct the tavern circuit peter uann and victor glrber half of the toronto quartet called the sugar shoppe often spend si nights week ir this atmosphere although they neither drink nor smoke having begun their career performing ui dubs two years eailier they now feel at home working under such conditions while enduring the periods between sets the tinging it whit they live for and all thai really nutters is putting oneself across well peter offers when you go up on stage and you know whit youre doing is right even if the response is not up to normal youre till leaching someone in the audience and while vie believes it it unrealistic for the entertainer to expect the audience tlwayt to give its undivided attention he is alio grateful that to date none of their engagements have been too raucous the love of entertaining causes the quartet to perform poor papa the only long which many older patrons come tercjteer although the group now has at least a minor aversion to the number the material were doing now it not really what youd call club material we started out just doing things thai people would like the only songs we ever really did deliberately were the songs from the twenties because we knew we were working in bin ind with these songs we were guaranteed good response you go to i club where everyone it it least over twenty ind they irenl really interested in hewing new material they want to heir old songs thus you cant just do what you want to do ill the time although some groups ire into that but their real interettt now be in more serious music their current record tingle save the country leads them into message songs weve gone through changes both collectively and individually tnd feel very it home doing these types ctttongs explained peter but vic added were still varied there ire dill tome very light whirntieil numbers we do because we like them realizing the great talent it their disposal peter ind vic are thinking very much beyond the confines of the bar circuit they naturally would prefer working solely in concent and are hoping that recent ind approaching television dates will give them the necessary breaks behind them are appearances on both the ed sullivan and johnny carton shows dates on the andy williams show kraft music hall ind another ed sullivan show are still to come in some respects they have solved the ageold chickenegg problem now that the television exposure it building for a group to be successful today theyve got to have hit record and in order to have a hit record they ve got to have exposure on both radio and television itt very very hard to get this exposure on national basis in canada cbc has been generous with air time vic feels but there is a limit to the number of timet a tingle act can be employed on any show and sugar shoppe appears to have approached the saturation stage with the cbc furthermore because of the vastly larger budgets of american television shows canadian shows tend to seen 1 utile ttenle in contrast it it difficult for i ckiadiui to const across well oa a canadian show the ieuawt lie very serious in their intentions to produce an nsiwtumg album for their nest release recently they changed labels because their former label envisioning the quartet as a novelty grauf failed to gnat the freedom which moil performers feel they tsssd- tint
