The Bratty Pack: Leon Russell, Gordon Lightfoot and The Good Brothers

By David Farrell Tue, 01/19/2016 - 07:07

It was the kind of party any one of us would love to have attended. Last weekend Leon Russell performed a 45 minute set (with band), followed by Gordon Lightfoot who played a few songs, and, capping it, The Good Brothers closed the private event.

It was the occasion of Matt Bratty's 50th birthday party, he the son of real estate developer and philanthropist Rudolph Bratty. Their family foundation, The Bratty Foundation, was in large part responsible for financing the 13-foot bronze Gordon Lightfoot statue in Orillia last year. The family company, The Remington Group, also sponsor the Country Music Association of Ontario.

There were no photographers, no media snoops - just a small if not so quiet private party in the rural township of King and FYI was able to capture this sneak peek of The Bratty Pack together.
