Day 2 @ matala played in the streets for a couple of hours with my friend Cindy then watched the starlite Beatles and Tony sfinos band Tony was fantastic a real showman the starlite Beatles were mediocre but got a good reception

May be the last time this festival happens sadly as the newly elected council are very anti festival which is pretty stupid as last year it generated six million euros income for the area.We are going to make the most of it we open the proceedings at five o'clock which is pretty good and we get an hour to play.I think the reason for the new council's feelings is the money generated by the event doesn't go into the council coffers, a bit narrow minded as the area needs tourism to survive and the sixty thousand that came last year is a hell of a lot by any standard.Any way enough ranting let's play some rock n roll.

Got  to  go  with  dino  on  this  one  defiantly bluesy  but  with  a  slant  towards  a  jazzy  feel would  be  nice  to  hear  it  played  by  tig

Doug's idea of the pleasure planet sounds good

Thanks guys I'm sure one day we will have a chance to get  together.

Well done  Dave ,its  great  to  get  a resident  spot  it  really  helps  when you are  trying  to build  up  a  following  ,folks  know  where  you  will  be and  come  to  see you  .We  had have been house  band  at  a  couple  of  bars  over  the  last  few  years  and  its  great  .certainly  here  where  you  get  a  regular  change  of  audience in the  resort ,however  in the  town bar  we  found  it  good  to  keep  expanding  our  repertoire so  as  not  to  get  stale .I  know  one  or  two  guys  who  churn out  the  same  set and  the  regulars soon  start  to  complain   so  its  good  to  vary  the  set  and  add  one  or  two  new  ones  to  the  favourites . As  Tyson said  if  you  have  an  audience who  talk  a  lot    try  and make  contact  with  one  or  more  and  it  will  spread ,it  can be  a  little  disconcerting  to  think  you are  up  there  playing  your  heart  out   and  every  one  talks ,They talk  because  its  a  social  thing ,they  are  listening   so  don't be  put  off  just  enjoy  your time  in the  spotlight .

sure  sm 58   excellent  mic great  sound
