The British born beauty, when traveling the globe, finds unique fabrics for Quebec designer, Gilles Savard (now based in Beverly Hills) to create romantic gowns for her concerts. S _ _ ome== NO PASSES \ELIJAH WOOD : KEVIN COSTNER During her last trip abroad, she performed at A Royal Gala Banquet and Ball For The Duke of Edinburgh‘s Awards. She was thrilled to be Prince Philip‘s dinner partner, again. (The prince â€" a lover of classical guitar â€" called her durâ€" ing the earthquake to make sure she and Simon were all right.) After dinner and about to perâ€" form, Boyd noticed unwanted moniâ€" tors on the stage. She asked for them to be taken away, but was told it was against union rules. Prince Philip stepped in and gave orders to remove them. Lo and behold... the monitors vanished. "I wish that I had that royal authority when I‘m on the road and technical problems arrive," she exclaimed. â€" Bonnie Churchill, NATIONAL NEWS SYNDICATE m m mimy oc mure ommc n in ie ‘ramen â€" us o NEXCIEE mR A l n s tsclme" DARING ANO WLOC YOU KNoOw THE FACTsS UNTIL YOU SEE THE FICTION.

Since moving to the movie capital of the world, Boyd has met Robert Redford and Warren Beatty; both have expressed interest in her musical writing and performâ€" ing talents for their future film proâ€" jects. Oakville audiences can look forâ€" ward to a rich and full musical proâ€" gram, Sunday. The evening‘s offerâ€" ings include works by Piotr, Panin, Sor, Bach, and Boyd herself. She will also be performing pieces she transcribed from piano to the guitar, by 19th century composer, Louis Gottschalk. She plans to perform Cuban composer, Ernesto Lechona‘s Malaguena. When she last perâ€" formed in Cuba at the Havana Opera House, she saved this numâ€" ber as her last. Right in the middle of the piece, the entire city experiâ€" enced a black out. "The audience did not seem fazed about it; I guess they‘re used (See ‘The‘ page 22 ) On Sunday, the Oakville Centre welcomes the wonderfully talented and exquisitely beautiful classical guitarist Liona Boyd to its stage. Her program will include works by Bach, Panin and Sor as well as by Boyd herself. Not surprisingly, the concert is sold out.
