Overdue update

Well blogfans, just another week of this show then normal service shall resume. In the meantime here is a quick update of a gig we did last week. It was a 12 hour wedding. Yup, 12. We played the ceremony in Kings Park, then went off to fremantle to set up the rig at the hotel. Here it is below. When the guests arrived we stood in anothe rroom and played about 30 mins if instrumental stuff, then came into the ballroom and sat and played for their meal. Then after the meal we did the full band gig then after all that we got to DJ the party for another 2 hours. It was hilarious!!!! It was all going normal, then around about 1130 we decided it was Hammertime, much shenannigans ensued including a full on boys vs girls dance off, cartwheels, full lenght of the dance floor knee slides, kung fu fighting, the works. It was the best fun we have had in ages. I ran the whole gig from the laptop, with the other laptop as backup in case anything microsofty happened AND i think i have finally found a gig easier than playing the viola!

Heres the settup, we had to play different entrance music for each couple of the bridal party and the bride and groom robot-walked in to intergalactic planetary by the beastie boys. Classy!

Other than that all i have been doing is teaching and playing this asian rock opera so nothing much has happenned in the last few weeks other than that. Highlights of the next few weeks include, 2 weeks of total bliss as I hang up the ol viola for a fortnight and take it nice and easy, then a gig with Paul Potts (another link here) in the burswood followed by another with ozzie jazz crooner James Flynn, then back to regular giggery with the band so this years "gig of the year" competition is already off to a good start
