Yesterday we played at the Starfish Cafe, home of Sara Harris, our vocalist. We managed to squeeze our sextet into a corner of the cafe and enjoyed 3 hours of playing in surprisingly nice acoustics. Great pizza followed our performance, kudos to Simon, Sara's husband and his secret pizza base recipe, I suspect. Luka Grbavac from Hold the Phones, joined us for two numbers, Chucho and Killer Joe.

Whangamata Jazz Art and Blues Festival
This was a great weekend. The band played at the Corvette Cafe in the centre of Whangamata for 3 days. Good audiences and great food supplied to keep us going! Guest bass player Stuart Lawerence excelled and laid a smooth rhythmic foundation to the music, thanks Stu. A highlight from Sunday mornings performance was chromatic harpist Haggis from Auckland joining us for two numbers.
