NEIL MURRAY STAGE

Neil Murray (1943-1988) was a Rhodes Scholar, poet, writer, historian, volunteer and bon vivant who passionately promoted Newfoundland's culture.  He was Editor of the Newfoundland Herald, host of the popular Jigg's Dinner radio show on CBC Radio and served on the boards of the Newfoundland Arts Council and the SJFAC.  As a great admirer and friend to musicians, Neil would be particularly pleased to have his name associated with this stage devoted to young performers.
