Unicorn Promotions was founded in 1994 by Leo
Puddester. The company was born out of Leo's love of all kinds of
music, especially Irish music.
He had a keen desire to share the music he loved with other fans
of the genre and to bring internationally known Irish acts to Atlantic
Canada, and so Unicorn Promotions was launched.
In the 12 years he has been in the promotion business, Leo has
helped encourage the careers of countless local acts, as well as
introducing Canadian audiences to a host of Irish artists who have
become fan favorites.
He has built a solid reputation as a promoter in Atlantic Canada,
and has established professional and personal relationships with
many irish greats such as Daniel O'Donnel, Johnny McEvoy, the Morrissey's,
Foster and Allen, and Mac & O, just to name a few! Unicorn Promotions
has recently begun to branch out into promoting artists from other
genres, such as Don Williams and Kris Kristofferson. This past spring
Leo was responsible for promoting a sold out show at Mile One Stadium
in St. John's, Newfoundland which featured Don Williams.
Unicorn Promotions has lots of exciting shows coming up this year,
such as Tommy Fleming at the Molson Theatre at Mile One, and Kris
Kristofferson, also at Mile One. please see our upcoming events
section for more information. |
Hello, Dia Duit,
When I was growing up in outport Newfoundland, one of my greatest
passions was listening to the Big Six irish Radio Program.
It was through this program I heard such greats as Tommy Makem,
Liam Clancy, and Paddy Reilly. After a few more years other Irish
greats came on the scene, like Johnny McEvoy, Foster and Allen,
Brendan Grace, Louise and The Morrisseys and further along came
Isla Grant, Moyra Fraser, and Ollie Kennedy. I never ever dreamed
that I would meet those great people, let alone become friends with
them. But, Irish Music has accomplished this. Many Newfoundlanders
and Labradorians have also become friends with these artists through
Unicorn Promotions.
This is our 12th year of operation and and I thank all of you
for your support. I would also like to thank VOCM, for being there
for ten years as a great corporate sponsor.
Slainte,
Leo Puddister |
