Performances

Mid July

In between disappearing for weeks at a time, Dave has got together with a new band, called SoundWave, and is back playing lead guitar.  Some of the numbers are not quite rocky enough for him, but at least he gets out to gigs.  A little too much some weeks.  They've been playing a regular Monday night gig at a local hotel - nobody gets paid, but there are beers and experience to be gained.

 Here's the hotel, with two girls holidaying from Belarus who were dancing so exuberantly that my camera couldn't keep up!

Then on Thursday 23rd we held a small comedy and music show in the village up the hill, Palaiokatuna, and I was to perform in a short sketch and the final song - first public performance since the pretty dreadful Snow White in 2009.

 Waiting in the wings, ready to go on ...

 In action in the sketch, with Tree and Arran.

 The final song, having successfully managed my two lines in tune and loud enough - phew, the relief!  Tree, me, Jackie, Arran, Andy & Maggie.

 The next day, a rare visit to the beach to check out a bar that wanted live music ...

 ... and to attend a clarinet, guitar and voice recital by my singing teacher, Rosa and her visiting friend, Ed.

And a week later, the same venue, Dave playing a blistering Blues riff with the rest of SoundWave: John on drums, Panos on bass and Pete on rhythm guitar.
