Our gig was themed to "who can wear the silliest/most outrageous hat" and our keyboard player, Louis, saying goodbye to his friends (flys "down-under" day after our gig on 15th August) and his other band playing one last gig with him and us supporting...
Yes indeed, silly hats all round...Louis (with Tele) and Chris...We played nine numbers, 6 of Chris', with the live debut of one of Louis songs from a CD he released in 2005 (plays pretty much everything on it) called "Stroke", to which I included a link to below...

Here's one with a temporarily hatless Nick and me with the RD...
My hat, an inflatible Stetson, is a delightful shade of blue, not possible to be seen under the red glare, internally lit with a collection of my daughters LED lights; a vision to behold... and a blury one with the Tequilabird...
Yep, that is me singing, and be thankful I have no means of uploading video... It was a nice wide stage but as both kits (one at each end) were present, with Louis centrally positioned, and 3 guitarists, total, it was a tad cosy - I had to be careful not to send Louis' Mac flying and avoid cymbal laceration to my right, not to mention taking out Louis' head... and Mark... being of Scottish descent, we have yet to slip that yoke...
but we are trying...
PS - can anyone spot the small American Republican influence in any of the pics...?
