A whole lot of dancing this weekend...
Howdy folks, we were so shagged out after the weekend , it took longer than usual to put the gig report online.
We started in Kurnell on Friday night
ably assisted by our Bass Confederate Mr Steve Corbett,(cheers Steve) and the PA help provided by Henry S, which made my life a lot easier, thanks Henry.
The gig at the KRC doesnt start until after the meat raffle (important) but as soon as they were done, we rolled into the music and saw quite a few folks strutting their stuff on the dance floor. When they ran out of women to dance with, the blokes just danced with each other. Vive La Sydney!
Cheers to Paul, Travis and the patrons of the Kurnell Recreation Club for a great night. Rosie's Guitar work for the night showed that he was chomping at the bit after two weekends off and he delivered some quite outstanding stuff during 'up the line'.
The next evening saw us head down to the foreshore of White Bay, where I got a shot of the harbour at Sunset - not the touristy Sydney Harbour, the working bits.
Yes it was time to go to our choice Rozelle Musical Establishment, The Bald Rock,
where this time we had a surfeit of Women dancing with each other. Go figure. Now if we could only pair up the men from the KRC with the Women from the Bald Rock...
Dudes! Dont just sit there! Ze Vimmen Vish To Dance!! (sigh)
Cheers to Sue, Garth, Mika, Alan, Josh, Theresa and a special mention of the Phantom Dancers (Carl's extended family) who came up to visit with Carl 'The Phantom' Alwert as he took up the deputy Bass spot for the night.
Things were so hectic there they spilled out on the street. here's an improvised Al Fresco Dining arrangement just outside:
Another great night at the Bald Rock. We have two more gigs at the Bald Rock before the end of the year, with Mr Wizards Birthday Bash and a Christmas Eve gig.
And so it came to Sunday and a gig as the Houseband for the Sydney Blues Society's Monthly Jam, which entailed a trip to Newtown to the Botany View Hotel:
WHich is sporting a nifty bit of street art on the rear wall of the pub:
With a small stage, we had to set the mikes off the stage and extend them all the way up:
We had a brief set and the start and end of the night and the rest was filled with some very solid Jam Bands whipping up a storm.
Thanks to Jed, David F and all the SBS jammers for making us so welcome. A special shout out to the lovely Jamie for visiting with us and Confrere De Corbett for yet more solid work on Bass for the night.
If you're in need of a play, check out the SBS's website for dates and times for their monthly jam sessions, www.sydneyblues.org.
Next, on to Wyong for Friday night's gig!
