Orchestra fun
ANNIE was awesome! The season finished on 2Oth May with two shows: a matinee and an evening performance. We did 11 shows over 10 days. Everyone was dead chuffed that the show sold over 4000 seats; they would have been happy to sell 1200 and break even. I can't say enough about the amazing cast. We have some awesome talent here in our town. The ( Read more... ) -
Update
Well, this year is flying. Work has stayed busy. Despite the arrival of two new docs, we are still running on half a doctor (don't think about it!) less than this time last year, and having trouble finding a locum for one of ours docs who wants to go South for three months over the winter.
Hubby is being very productive, with two further Gnome ( Read more... ) -
Heroes
I join everyone here in remembering the unique creativity of David Bowie. Like many, I thought the Goblin King was gorgeous, and his Glass Spider tour stop in Auckland in '86 was my first concert.
Only ten days before his death we played both China Girl and Heroes in a set of only 21 songs. Heroes is usually our grand finale. Only last week I ( Read more... ) -

Party time!
Wahoo! Just found out Watt 4 have the contract to be feature band for the New Year's Eve party on Picton foreshore. This is THE big local event at New Year with a fireworks display at midnight and all sorts of activities all evening. Last year 9000 people turned up to party! Sure beats the 50-100 at the club we usually play at!

Watt 4
Here's Watt 4 performing Crazy Little thing called Love by Queen
and All Right Now by Free
(check out the short bass solo near the beginning of the guitar solo!) We'd only added this song to the set list a week or two earlier, and this was the first time we'd played the whole thing right through.

Band update
Well, Watt Four is up and running. We have done two gigs now, in Feb and April at the licks Combined Clubs venue with two more booked for June and August. Not the best of venues, lots of oldies who go home pretty early, but I did a good job of rounding up an audience from friends, workmates, and even patients! They all seemed to enjoy the night ( Read more... ) -

Eagles concert Saturday night was awesome! Unlike many other performers as they hit the late sixties there was no loss of vocal or guitar playing ability. They sounded as good as they did 30 or more years ago and put on a bloody good show. The narratives by each of the band members interspersed between all the well-loved songs was informative and ( Read more... )
