Gigbag

It finally arrived, my yamaha gigbag

Its a softcase for a violin, light, waterproof and reasonable solid

The bow has a seperate compartment on the outside

Here is all the gear necessary for going through a PA system

I trialled it last night at two gigs, its really quick to pack and not heavy at all.

Happy 70th George!

Here is the G-man blowing out the candles on his foot and a half long birthday apple stroodle, a delicacy here in Perth

All done in one puff

And check out the extreme levels of decadence which have descended on life here in Perth as Pat enjoys mid-day stroodle with a glass of middleton VERY rare. Chin chin. More birthday shenaniganarry can be found on moms blog here

So, there we were, heading into town for a few hours, havent been in town in nearly a year and a half, parked in a carpark i never parked in before, heading into the city centre, as soon as we walked outside i noticed a really big screen across the road, guess who was on it????? ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and the rest of the cork pops orchestra)

Yup, it was a 20000000inch LCD screen displaying the entire tommy fleming gig we did about 6 years ago

Here is Tommy entertaining the public of perth

Look here, you can even see Gerry Kellys cello, im sitting behind him in this shot.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We took Finn to the museum to se the dinosaur exhibit yesterday, it was fantastic!


An allosaurus greeted us in reception. They were all animatronic and moved and roared away like mad.

Triceratops complete with baby triceratops hatchlings

And Finns favourite dinosaur the Stegasauras.

Hello bloggers, sorry its been a while, these last few weeks at school were hectic. On holidays now so you can expect more activity here.

Check this out, i ended up doing a few keyboard gigs this term, here is a photo of me playing with the junior concert band, the tuba player just got braced in that day and couldnt play so I ended up playing the bass part on a keyboard. It was even easier than playing the viola! Only one hand, 4 different notes and no dynamics!

And check out this bottle of wine I got as a gift, I think its an electrical conductor as he has two electrodes (batons)......
