He takes his listeners on a journey around the globe and through their hearts and he does it all without words. His guitar is his voice and he speaks volumes with it. In 2009 Guitar Player Magazine selected Doug from among thousands of hopefuls as a top ten finalist in their Guitar Superstar Competition, solidifying his reputation as one of the top players not only in Canada but globally.

Artistic Director & dancer Jill Tunbridge presents the 9th Annual Flamenco del Mar Festival in White Rock. Dancers from Flamenco del Mar Spanish Dance Studio will perform with guest artists from the Vancouver flamenco community. Invited guests include Flamenco guitarist Juan Carreras, cantaora (singer) Jafelin Heltin and bailora (dancer) Denise Canso. This cultural event has become a tradition to the Coast Capital Playhouse and the sunny White Rock/South Surrey area.
Born in Cape Town, South Africa (and growing up in Sarnia, Ontario), bailora (flamenco dancer) Jill Tunbridge began Spanish dancing at age seven, and Flamenco at 19. After years of exclusive study in flamenco dance (with Paula Moreno in Toronto, Oscar Nieto and Rosario Ancer in Vancouver, and many artists in Spain and the US), Jill opened her studio in White Rock. An instructor and choreographer to dancers of all ages, she is also the organizer of the FDM festival.
