Paul is not currently recording any new shows for the Bluenose Opera House Radio Network. Click "Show Archive" to see the list of existing shows (90 of them). If anyone would like to sponsor the creation of new shows, using Paul's unique and eclectic style, please contact him and drag him out of semi-retirement!
What are we about?
The BLUENOSE OPERA HOUSE -- inspired by the "Grand Ole Opry", but with the colourfully salty heritage of Atlantic Canada -- in reality is a radio program promoting Maritime culture, heritage and great artistic talent. Featured as guest co-hosts are the most gifted musicians, artists, storytellers, civic leaders, inspiring volunteers; people of all ages with new ideas or who've reinvented their lives to survive and move on.
 Live Pilot: April 2010
Show creator and host Paul Kellogg invites people of all stripes to not just pull up a chair to be interviewed, but to guest co-host. They are prompted by Paul to tell their own story (as they do it best); and are invited to bring along the music that they listened to, were inspired by or that represents those they worked with (or would like to). The BLUENOSE OPERA HOUSE is three-dimensional, imaginative presentation of the way radio used to be!
The "BOH" has been enthusiastically supported and encouraged by artists throughout the Maritimes as well as internationally-acclaimed talents from across Canada. There is nothing "formatted" nor "state-of-the-art" about the show; just down-home fun with music and conversation with real people, as if you're sitting in the middle of it in your own kitchen! Think Shelagh Rogers in the style of Finkleman's 45's....
