STAY AWHILE is an intimate portrait of Canada's first super group. Long before Canadian content radio quotas made stars of Canadian musical artists, The Bells burst on the scene in the late 60s/early 70s with ubiquitous hits such as Moody Manitoba Morning, Fly Little White Dove Fly and especially Stay Awhile featuring the haunting Jackie Ralph line ".. how he makes me quiver...". The Bells tell the story of what it was like for a couple of South African women and (initially) three Canadian musicians who toured extensively and sold thousands of records, and their private lives behind the scenes, as told by the daughter of two of the principals. A lovely nostalgic look at the late 60s/early 70s music scene, as remembered by people who were in the eye of the storm.
