Holly smoking amplifier tubes! I can't believe it has been more than 6 months since the last blog update!
Just where is 2009 going?
Time goes quickly when you’re having fun as the saying goes and we have been having a blast.
We have been extremely busy so far this year and have played some great gigs.
January saw the band debut down in Rotorua at the annual BluesFeast, hosted by the BOP Blues Club.
These guys really have their act together down there and Auckland could certainly learn a thing or two from them about running a successful blues club.

After an exceptional gig open air gig in Cornwall Park as part of the Summer Concert Series, we were very pleased to be included in the Mission Bay Streetfest, which (despite being delayed 24 hours because of the weather for the first time in its history) was still a very enjoyable festival to be a part of.

Sadly, the downturn that has been affecting many areas of the world has claimed Jo's Place and the terrific little bar is no longer a live music venue.
We really enjoyed playing there and hopefully it won't be long before regular live music returns.

It was back down to Rotorua for the Blues Week Festival on the Queen's Birthday Weekend in May.
Our set at The Belgian Bar was pretty well received by the great crowd and we look forward to returning for the 2010 BluesFeast.

We hope to see you soon at a gig.
