Like sharks with lasers in their mouths awesome.

We had hoped to get things happening but this was a tad more than we anticipated, with some pretty fabulous stuff from the Blue Faced Liars, plus extra special guests John Hill and the lovely Kate Doherty. I gotta say, that might have been our gig, but it was their night!

Respect.

 

Mr Pete Doherty. I love this guy.

The Blue Facer's got a raucous review from the crowd and had things cooking. Some very tasty harp and stomp.

Everyone got a chance to do their thing, and then they started doing their things together as jamming happened.

And it doesn't take many people to get that tiny little bar packed.

We had a chance to play some stuff but then we turned the floor over to Brother John whilst we stopped for Tapas.

Brother John laid it down. Amen.

Theo joined in for a song and it was all on.

John kindly turned his instrument over to the lovely Kate Doherty who sang some beautiful stuff, then Pete jumped in for another number, it's all as it's meant to be.

That was one of those 'you had to be there' nights and the next few cellar sessions promise more of the same.

Drop in to one if you get the chance, we don't know how long they'll run, we're not sure who'll be there, but it could just be the very tonic for what ails you.

On the way out, I spotted this. Poof Doof. Priceless.

It's good to be out and about.

The Farthest Shore

 

From such seeds

Great Trees should rise

when does that southern species

know

flower and bloom

In time of trial

Midst dust

and heat

And fire

 

Saplings mustered

in long white rows

alone

would grow

bold and free

and wild

that such forests would

adorn now

our parks

in place of

Marble

Stone

And Iron

 

Yet crown they still the

sky

with towering arch

of limb

and bough

and leaf

that stretch towards a

Farthest shore

their shade

to our relief
