April 2012 - Country Night at the Cinnamon Club

Dominic and the boys were asked to perform a special country night at the Cinnamon Club.



Dominic was joined by Ben Wiltshire on electric bass, Chris Hillman on electric guitar & pedal steel and Jono Price on drums.

The music was a mix of old country songs from Cowboy Copas, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers and more and some original tunes thrown into the mix.



In between the band’s sets, Neil Palfreyman played his beautiful original songs and these were very well received.

Fun Night was had by all, thanks to Neil, Hughie, Nat and Neil Palfreyman.

Might be another night in the future, watch this space…

I love this Camera, its been a joy to use

Senor Blue Video, original song and we made the video on some hills near where I live.

The battery on the video camera only lasted two hours so we had to make do,

Franks Hat

So a new year and time to update our hat collection - we’ve been really getting into our hats lately and I wanted to (finally) get Paul (our bass player) and Richard (our piano player) up to speed with their very own Honey B’s hats!



I did a bit of research about trilbys and fedoras - you can check it out on our website here. The upshot of all this was that I got in contact with our friends at Whiteley Hats and ordered a couple of crackin’ pork pie hats for the boys. Let me know what you all think of them in the picture above.

Of course the real challenge lies ahead in making sure the hats make it through the next slew of shows in one piece - perhaps I’d better take care of them myself!
