ONE FOR THE FAMILY
Monday, 08 October 2007
Hi punters.
We're playing at the Royal Botanical Gardens open day this Sunday 14th October.
We'll be scaring the wildlife and the kiddies just outside the Observatory Cafe from 12.30 - 2.00. Hopefully, a lovely time will be had by all and our fame will spread far and wide!!
Had a very nice time last Friday playing with Tim Rogers at the National Theatre - it was like being backstage at the orchestra with strings and horns warming up in the dressing rooms.
Jonh, Barry and I are back at the RSL on Thurs. 18th October if you're free. I'm having my 49th birthday drinks that night and you're all welcome to bring wonderful presents!
Cheers.
