Jason Machado quintet + guests

Tomorrow Wednesday 24 January I'm playing with the Jason Machado quintet + guests at the Press Club in the Valley. There will be quite a bit of percussion as well so it looks like it's going to be a great event.

Entrance free, 1st set starts at 9.30pm, last set ends at midnight!

Rio Carnaval DVD night

Hi, everyone. Would you like to see the official DVD of the 2006 Rio Carnaval?. Everyone's welcome to come down to my place at 21 Ninth Avenue, Sandgate, to see it, on Friday night 9th February. You are also welcome to bring your instruments. (I'll warn the neighbours!). We could see the DVD and have a jam session afterwards; and David will make us a light supper. BYO drinks. If you could let me know if you're coming (for food catering purposes) that would be appreciated. I guess probably around 7.30 pm would be a start time. Hope to see you then! Patty

New accounts for posting

There are some technical changes to the Blog outside my control, and because of this everyone will have to re-register a username/password. You should now have received an email from Blogger/Google informing you of this, and hopefully it has some instructions in it too.

• My recommendation is to choose your username as follows: firstname.lastname@brisamba.com
• Please don't forget your password - I won't be able to retrieve it for you! It might be easy to choose the same password as you already have for the members area.
  

Back to school!
