29/2/08

Whilst I am working in Bristol this week-end I dropped into the High Note music showcase. Now its in a doggy part of Bristol, Majors pub, but is worth checking out.
I caught the end of James Gales set - He is very good and had a bass player helping fill the sound and saw all of Sarah set. I was very impressed. Brillient playing and singing.
It is a shame that more people are not enjoying the experiance.
To the pople of Bristol. Get down there and sort it out

First time here for me. My friends brother's second band, Far Canal, who have had to move from their old residency have set up shop here and this is their first night.

Played
50 things to do before I die - Jon Chapman
Staffordshire Hill - Jon Chapman
Behind Blue Eyes - the Who
Was a good night. Some very good players in the house.
Till next time.
