Howdy Folks. Another fine night at the PI, with multiple football matches on, it was hard to determine whether the applause was for us or the Wallabies. Ye gods.
Cheers to Henry for taking up the deputy drumming reins last night! I still have to ask A.B what Henrys gig nickname is...hmmm...I wonder.
We have been in the wars this week - Theo was on hand (no pun) with his Arm Cast at 90 degrees, only a parrot short of a pirate, Rosie's got a tooth problem necessitating significant (legal) painkillers, I have a cold, Repo has destroyed his phone in a Luddite moment and yet the show must (and did) go on! Yay!
So Mjeb and I both wrote reports for last night's gig ... he got in first, but hey - here's a second point of view!
They say that to see the true colours of a man apply pressure. I venture that the same applies to a band.
The sound-gremlins had us in their sights last night - the electrical doodads were not firing on all cylinders. After much plugging and unplugging and cussin' a phone call to our resident drummer-on-the-mend, Theo, saw him make a couple of calls from his sickbed (or sick-sofa as the case may be) to a friend who was also doing a gig in Newcastle.

Howdy folks, on this bright, sunny and very windy afternoon of blogging. We had a great evening at Stockton last night, Terry and his partner started the dancing straight away and it pretty much kept going from there. Hi to our visitors from Gunnedah and big thanks to Pete for saying nice stuff about us in the local magazine(gosh shucks).
As sometimes occurs in ventures such as ours, we had some minor technical hiccups yesterday. We were fielding a Brand New Awesome PA system, including the massive bass bins, latest RCF front of house, oh the glorious sound.
Of course, that's what i would be writing if we'd only had 2 leetle, teeny tiny adapters for the desk. Ye Gods. Suffice to say that a quick phone call to our recovering percussion section Theo, yielded a destination for an emergency dash for our golden roadie, Carl. BIG THANKS to Mike for the loan of the 3 pin adapters and Theo for saving our butts even when he's on the bench.
