Planet of the Loops . 15 years ago Andrew Aldridge launched POTL into orbit which in turn became the springboard which helped to catapult the PiNG into motion. That first POTL night back in 1998 at Holy Joe's featured Andrew, Kurt Swinghammer, Trevor Shaiken and Tamara Williamson. After a year at Holy Joe's, POTL joined forces with the PiNG to present POTL shows on a monthly basis from 1999 until 2005. Some of the many loopers who have played POTL include Ken Harrison (Wild Strawberries), Kevin Barrett, Danny Michel, Colin Cripps, Russell Broom, Kevin Breit, ARC, Scott M2, Jamie Todd, Matthew Poulakakis, James Bailey, Cheryl O, Steven Sauvé, Ben Grossman, Richard Underhill and Wally Jericho. Andrew Aldridge, the founder of the Planet has played with Wild Strawberries, Danny Michel, Sarah Slean, Universal Honey and members of Blue Oyster Cult. Andrew has performed at the World Looping Festival in Santa Cruz CA and now resides in Hamilton ON as a musician and producer.
