Friday’s Concert Photo’s

May 12th, 2008

Going by the ‘A’ guitar chord, this was probably taken during Catherine’s nice ballad called ‘Midsummer Twilight’. Camera caught us all in a very concentrative moment by the looks of things. Note the bathroom in the background. We had a few people from other areas of the library, stop by the bathroom, then upon hearing our playing, deciding to take a seat and listen to our show.

Trio Set List:
1. Dancing In The Mist
2. Midsummer Twilight
3. One Autumn Day
4. Secret Sanctuary
5. My Love
6. In The Light Of Day (just Catherine and Sarah) (their myspace)

Normaly do and much rather stand and perform. However being the nature of this venue and stripping back some songs. Was better to play sitting down.

Thanks To Catherine Duc and Jess From Acoustica

May 10th, 2008

If Jess from yesterdays ‘Acoustica At the Library’ is reading this? Then just want to say thank you once again for having us perform at your comfortable venue. Was good to play guitar with Catherine and hear Sarah’s magic violin playing was a good extra lunch time treat. Thanks too Catherine! For asking me to perform.

As alway’s, was good to catch up with Sarah Bussutil again. Although it was only briefly, as Sarah had to rush off to play a private party up in the country with her band ‘The Counterfeit Gypsies’. Then Sarah was going to come rushing back to Melbourne to play a late night gig at the Espy. Busy little beaver….

Rosie The Beagle Returns Home

May 7th, 2008

Last week while driving back home from a long weekend away. We spotted a dog in our approaching headlights through the darkness, standing on the cold wet road. Rosie was sniffing some take away fast food litter, that had probably been thrown from a moving vehicle. Seeing as we were coming to a stop at a set of traffic lights. We quickley chose to put our hazzards on and use our car to block her, from getting hit by the cars. Which were fastly approaching the traffic lights that were about to turn green. It turned out that Rosie had been missing for 4 days before we found her (probably why she risked her life to get at that fast food litter) . Rosie the beagle is now safely back with her human mum and brothers
Rosie the beagle has been safely and happily returned to her owners

Upcoming Show is Only Days Away Now

May 5th, 2008

We’ll Catherine Duc and I finally met yesterday afternoon at her rehearsal. Catherine’s mum was their too, supporting us along. Actually, her mum played some guitar for us and played really nicely and she only just started learning two years ago. I can imagine her mum performing on some world famous stages in maybe only another 5 years or so from now. A Library is not something you’d expect me to play in, yet it’s something different, so I’m up for that. Maybe I should let rip some wild screams and shake the books off the shelves..;) Nah….. promise I’ll behave and pick out the soft songs to perform ;) 

Also Sarah Bussutil who plays violin in The Counterfeit Gypsies will be joing us as well.

 ~~ 1/2 price CD’s available on the day. So come down to the show to take advantage of this ‘only once in awhile’ offer! ~~
