CATHY MIDDLETON JOINS IN

Thursday April 21 saw Cathy Middleton join us for a fun sesh. Cathy is a long time friend of Chris's. They played together in well known South Coast Band Roxygen. Cathy has played at the Narooma and Cobargo festivals amongst other prestigious gigs. Cathy is a great keyboard player and saxophonist, and she joined in on some of the songs we are currently piecing together, plus a couple of our older songs.

Cathy lives in Melbourne now, so we don't expect to see ( hear ) her in The Shed very often, but we sure enjoyed having her and would really love to see her in The Shed again.

So Cathy, thanks very much for coming over, and any time you are back around these here parts, please do not hesitate to come on back and play some more songs with us - great fun !

PETER BRUNT AND LYNDON LEWIS DROP IN

A couple of Thursdays ago, PB and Lyndon Lewis popped by.

PB had come over to say good-bye – he has accepted a new job up in Ballina and he and Lyn are moving very soon. PB played bass and sang some for PBGB for a good while, and features on three of our cds.

Since Pete took leave he has been playing bass for Lyndon’s 50s rock band ‘Shadoogie’.

Thanks for coming over to say good-bye Pete – that was really nice of you. We all wish you and Lyn all the very best with your new adventure up North !

It so happened that Lyndon had his trusty Strat in the car, so he dragged it out and we played a few songs together. We all liked what we heard, and Lyndon has been back a couple of times and is adding some really tasty licks to some of the songs we are currently working on. Lyndon is enjoying the challenge of getting his head and hands around some of our original material.

We hope that before too long we can capture a good recording of Lyndon’s guitar work. Watch this space.

So welcome aboard Lyndon !
