Media coordinator Fiona Black (from left), theatre student Eric Swanson and helper Tara Goerzen prepared a great big celebration cake for Roy, donated by Tino's Bakery.

They've been fans for close to 30 years said Janis Cackette (left) and Jan Sherman.

Paul Norton, who works for a CD distribution company, and Sue Malcolm are both friends of Roy's.

Cheryll Matthews accompanied Cap theatre manager Des Price to the show.

He's the original "culture vulture" of Capilano college. Music fan Vince Chura is said to be the college's best ticket subscriber.

Leslie Cox (from left) was out in the audience cheering on the gang from "Yardsale", namely Steve Mitchell, Jackie Janzen and Brenan Rideout. The group opened the show for Roy.

Steve Edge, editor and art director of the Rogue Folk Club newsletter, was only too happy to see Roy on stage again.

Staying behind for some cake and conversation were Paul Blake (left) and Don Kline Jr.

Nine-year-old Eric Thornton and his mom Laura purchased one of Roy's first albums on CD.

Lydia Dixon was only too proud to see her hubby Roy Forbes, otherwise known as "Bim", receive a standing ovation.

CBC's David Grierson (left) presented Roy Forbes with a very special keepsake, a pin from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
