Fete de la Musique: June 21st

After all the talk on the previous blog, are we doing any gig for the Fete de la Musique this year ?

Yes. Sunday 21 June 2009, 11am - 12.30am, New Farm Park.

What previous talk are you referring to?

Patty said...

I think Brian's referring to my suggestion that we play on the citycat.

If it's going to be in New Farm Park, maybe we can have a picnic afterwards? Unless it's howling wind, in which case I'll sit in the car and someone can pass me sandwiches.

So, the plan to scare away the CityCat patrons still on track then ? The ferry terminal is not far away.

Patty, I'll bring an empty intra-venous drip from the hospital , fill it with wine , pass it through a small opening of your car side window and you can slurp it to your content. No wind, good wine, good sandwiches, . . . . and don't need to wind the window down for us to pour you some wine. :-)

I tried the CityCat, they only allow musicians INSIDE which would be impossible for us. So we play in the park instead.

Brian D. said...

Can we play pagode inside the CityCat as we always play at the start of each rehearsal? Informal , having fun , playing small instrument. Get off at the next stop , play for the patron waiting for the ferry going back the other way. Then reform as a batucada and play the big sound as a finale.

The festival is about playing informally on the public place ? The ferry patrons can join in with the clapping and shaking.

Remko, you're good at working up the crowd.

There's nothing informal about Fete de la Musique - it's organised in extreme detail, like most gigs, there's a lot that you guys don't see. So no we can't do that unfortunately.
