Fete de la Musique - debrief

Well that was quite an event yesterday! We played with about 18 drummers in Queen St Mall, something that won't happen too often. We made quite an impact (did anyone hear the screaming after the first 'bang' in the 2nd set?). I've been told we drew the largest crowd of all the performers that day, and there were many performers. I hope some of you had the chance to see some of the other performances as well!

So thank you again, well done. Thanks also to those of you who came early at 11am to help unload instruments, and to those of you who stayed afterwards to help load the instruments.

Gigs like this are always a big hassle, and what I really don't like is that I don't have the chance to wind down with you after the gig and go for a drink or something. I hope some of you made it to the coffee club for a free lunch!

In case you haven't heard yet, the 2nd set was cut short by the organisation - they had offered us a 2nd set the day before the gig only, but they had not realised that loud groups like us were only allowed to do one set. So when we started playing again I believe a few shop owners complained and that was it. Only in Australia...
