Myself and a few choice musicians have been practicing earlier this evening. We are going to perform our style of Cajun music tomorrow at a local pub. Cajun style xmas carols, should be a good time. All profits to charity.
We have never played as a group before but we blended beautifully.
Line up Ace = Squeezebox and vocals
Fat bloke = rythm guitar
Wingnut =bass guitar
Suzy Teasmaid (OH) =triangle and washboard
John the hat = drums.
Band name (for one night only) ACE AND THE CHANDELIERS
Let the good times roll !!!!
Oh yeh we usually masquerade as a bunch of bad'ass bikers, so give a biker a wave tomorrow we all try to do our bit.
That sounds like the beginning of something big, Ace!
Sounds great....you could go a long way with that title!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Have a fab night ;)

No thanks! I had 25 years of pub entertainment, Leave it to the youngsters.
But last night was great, apart from no drinking, (had to drive the equipment home) and no smoking.
The place was packed and a lot of money was given, which will go to a local youth group. There were all sorts in the audience and some of the younger ones were asking if we had a cd for sale.
One thing that amazed me was the amount of phone cameras clicking away, evidently they pass the message around the town by photo and text to let everybody know there's a good session going on.
When I was loading the van up afterwards, a couple of policemen stopped to chat. They said they had been back quite a few times to check the pub. I did not notice any trouble I said. No we just liked the music was the reply.
Glad it was a great success Ace!
;D
