muse-ings
Ah Canberra - always worth the drive.
Friday night saw us at The Merry Muse for a very fun night. New Canberra band Aglet played first (apparently, aglets are the plastic thingies on the ends of shoelaces), followed by Reynardine, launching their CD Old Fox, New Trick. With the four of us (Louise-the-gorgeous-cellist included), and a walk-up spot from a wonderful harpist, that made for more that 16 players on and off the stage across the evening - keeping the ever-patient and unflappable sound-guy on his toes!
Highlight of the evening for us was the view from the stage as we coerced the audience to show us their paws during Waltzing With Bears. Pandas R Us.
Christina had to head off at some non-existent (pre-8am) hour on Saturday for a two-week tour with Blindmans Holiday. Bye C! The rest of us enjoyed a slighty slower start to the morning, and then spent most of the day at the National Gallery looking at the Vivienne Westwood exhibition.
Then off to Jo Cresswell's for the house-concert debut of her band Halliracket. Guitar, voices, concertina, piano, and even a bit of step-dancing. Very fine playing - and a lovely way to spend an evening.
Special-big-thanks to Catherine for letting us crash for the weekend, and for the roast lamb, and for the Scrabble, and for not making us watch the video of Hello Dolly...
