A Most Excellent Weekend

To say that I have had one of the best musical weekends would be an understatement.

Ali Reay and myself took Brussels by storm since Thursday. People, musicians and the odd canine seemed to have really enjoyed the guitar exploits of Mr. Reay

Thursday night saw a gig at La touche (thanks pascal). It was a perfect rehearsal for the next two nights. Thanks to those who turned up and had a lot of fun, Ciaran for playing his large percussive instrument.



Friday night was Fat Boys ...... a really great night. Bai turned up and joined in, even Tony Mallet sang Sultans of Swing! Isabelle also joined us which was great to sing with her again. Lee the barman played his harp and of course Bo shouted a lot. Just a camera photos I'm afraid. Wli and I hung around until about 03.00 talking about nothing really, but the beers kept turning up on the bar so we couldn't leave them!



"Nature Boy" was played I think about 3 times that night! Ali does the best version ever of this song, Naty King Cole and George Benson dont get a look in!








Saturday night was Churchills Bar A first for me and obviously a first for Ali. Thanks to Ronnie and Phil for allowing us in without a real demo and having faith purely by looking at the blog and the set list. Really nice place to play, nice listening audience (rare for Brussels) and the bar maids who look after us amazingly well ... by ensuring we always had a drink at the ready!! Thanks girls!













Tonight is the Bizon ..... so please please please be there as Ali wont be bacl for a bit and its the last chance to see him.
