Plans afoot for the summer

Ah, the summer, even the thought makes you forget the months of darkness and cold and wind and misery and… okay, maybe not forget, but certainly set to one side for a moment.  We’re excited to announce that we’re playing the Kelburn Garden Party this June (19th-21st).  This is a new festival but we’ve played over . . . → Read More: Plans afoot for the summer

Saturday Night Fish Fry

Happy New Year! Thanks to everyone who brought in the New Year with us at the Departure Lounge – it was a great night.

The Drawing Room Sessions

‘The Drawing Room Sessions’ – a fitting name considering the surroundings. Thanks to everyone at the Graffiti Project (Kelburn Castle) for such a wonderful evening of music and food. I tried my best not to drop a stick during the proceedings so as not to give Moose the excuse to look at me with . . . → Read More: The Drawing Room Sessions

Bond… Government Bond

Not that it’s relevant to anything, but I went to see ‘Quantum of Solace’ this week.  I was just thinking that it’s weird how every generation gets the Bond it deserves.  Daniel Craig’s a great actor and is a good Bond, but the script can’t run to more than about twenty pages at the outside.  Instead, what . . . → Read More: Bond… Government Bond
