Extremely busy week. Couple of gigs over the weekend. One at Suncourt with the bliss duo, the other at the Taupo Cossie for the Ulysses club with Working Class. Both nights were fantastic. The Cossie was absolutely packed and the dancefloor was full right from the first song of the evening till 12 O'clock.
Spent many hours helping my son Matt put the final touches to a Dream Theater backing track he has created. He is going to be using this track to audition for a drum competition in Australia later on in the year. He is also going to upload a film of his drum solo on youtube, I'll post a link to this at a later date.

Melbourne Part 2

Just got back from Melbourne. What a fantastic place! Full of hustle and bustle, we only really scratched the surface of things to do. Was really impressed with the amount of live entertainment on offer. We were there for 5 nights and we must have seen about 10 different acts!
The trams in the city centre made it very easy to get around in. The mix of old and new architecture was really unique, unlike any other city I can think of.
Got back to a load of phone messages, some duo and band enquiries and a couple of jingle requests. Looks like it's going to be a busy year!

5 gigs this week!

Really busy week coming up. On Sunday we've got a Bliss duo gig at the Suncourt Motel. On Tuesday Bliss are performing for the Probus club of Taupo at the Events Centre. On Thursday Bliss are playing at the Suncourt Motel. Then on Friday lunchtime I'm doing a classical guitar performance at St Andrews church Taupo with a couple of my students. And Sunday Jo and I are playing with the Great Lake Big Band at the Rotorua Jazz Club. Reminds me of our days with "Dont call me Jane" in London when playing a triple header over the weekend was fairly normal!

Gig at the Suncourt Motel

Just got back from doing a Bliss Duo gig with Jo at the Suncourt Motel in Taupo. What a great night! The place was really busy and we had a great time. We did quite a few songs we haven't played for quite a long time so it was good to see if we could still remember them! The whole evening was very relaxing, totally unlike the High School Musical performances last week.
