PBGB TEE SIGHTED AT ANDY O'DONNELL'S PENULTIMATE GIG (?) WITH THE FIGMENTZ


Andy, John, Ken and Dave
So there we were at Pambula's Longstocking Brewery, for to witness what could be one of Andy's last gigs with the mighty Figz.

Andy and his new family are heading off to live in Orange in the new year, so we figured this might well be one of the last Figz gigs with Andy up front. So of course we went along. Had to.

The Figz blazed ! 

And there, up the back on the Hammond, was John Drews sporting his PBGB Tee!  That gave us a great excuse to post a very fond farewell to Andy, and a Figz line-up that has endured for over a decade, thrilling local crowds and visitors with their brilliant performances.

Word has it that Andy reckons he might come back for 'special' shows with the Figmentz, but.........who knows where or when ?

What we do know is that The Figz are appearing at Merimbula's Ford Park on New Year's Eve, and you'd be mad to miss Andy's final appearance before he shoots off.

See ya there !!

Thanks Andy, for fronting the band through an incredible run of music that has spoiled us rotten. How lucky are we, in this little corner of the planet,  to have had such a spectacular band at our fingertips ?

Cheers Andy. All the very best from all your mates in the PBGB Shed. We'll miss you and keenly await your return.
