GOOD VIBRATIONS - PBGB "PLAYS OUT" :)

Steve Faggotter, Neil Porter, Graham Brown, Peter Reid, Mick Nadin, 
Louise Nadin and Manny Aigner took to the "stage".

After two short rehearsals, a collection of PBGB players were released into the wild on Friday night 24th November to entertain participants and friends at the 2017 Merimbula Classic.  An appreciative crowd enjoyed 6 original PBGB songs plus a couple of covers, as well as some jamming with various people from the audience, including PBGBer Kerry Hynes for a couple of songs - welcome back Kerry!

Our anticipated/planned/rehearsed 30 minutes of playing turned into well over an hour and a half, and a good time was had by all.  Congratulations to Louise on her first gig - which was also the first time most of us have played together outside The Shed.  Indeed, this lineup had only ever played together once before.

Henry Jones and John Drews have been very supportive of PBGB over the years, and it was really good to be able to give them something back in return - thanks John and Henry - love the t-shirts.  

The whole gig had such a warm and friendly vibe despite the impending weather (which never actually pended), and it was great to see so many familiar faces in the crowd.

In two words: GOOD FUN!

HEAR YE, HEAR YE, DAWSON GRAHAM EXHORTS ONE AND ALL............ 'NEVER FORGET'

Dawson always has a song or three up his sleeve. And so it was a cuppla weeks back when we were in The Shed hankerin' on recording a new song. Dawson pulled out a song we had never heard before and laid it on us.

Within an hour and a half we had it down, and we were pretty darn pleased with how it sounded.

Have a listen to Never Forget and see if you agree.

Dawson says it's about the reality that although every one of us is on a different journey through life, it is important to remember where we each come from and the lessons we learned from our  families in our early days.

This song, says Dawson, is part of his journey.

It was, as always, brilliant to be able to hear a fresh song, shuffle it around a bit, find the right feel, and just lay it down by the seat of your pants. Nothing stale here.............done and dusted while the initial adrenaline was still flowing. Pure Sheddery thank you Dawson !

Dawson Graham wrote it, sang it, and played slide on his acoustic guitar.

Neil Porter played bass and produced it.

Peter Reid played the drums.

Simple, good.

Hope ya like it !!
