(another masterpiece from Hayley's birthday party)

HOPE YOU'RE READY TO PARTY TONIGHT!!!!

From Hayley's birthday show... more to come in the near future!!

So we've been busy with private shows the last few weeks... the good news is that we're back in the pubs this weekend and the next!!

Eaton Tavern - this Friday 16th April: 8:30 - late

Crown Hotel, Collie - next Saturday 24th April: 8:30 - late

For those of you further afield, keep an eye out for DR appearances in Scarborough, Kalgoorlie and Mandurah... dates on the website as soon as we have confirmation!

The easter bunny has come early.... over the next few days we'll be dropping you an egg or two on the music page - some selected treats from the recording we did from Hayley's birthday.... something new every day, so don't miss out!!

Not much pub action the next few weeks - coz we're playing birthday parties for some of our fave peoples... happy birthday in advance to Hayley, Corey & Claire!!

Manji Show - so much promise.... Mr Horse had his own entrance, we were set up nice & early, got amongst it with the carnies, sampled the local delicacies, pumped up the stunt bike riders, then...... Darkness :(  - a pole fire blacked out the oval & it took western power 2.5 hours to fix it - disappointing to watch the crowd melt away into the darkness after the fireworks... the power came back on at 10pm, so we cracked out 2 fired-up sets to the hardy showgoers that were still there (thanks for sticking around guys!!).... in the end those that were left loved us (& why wouldn't they), & we'll be back at the footy club real soon!!

(oh yeah, the recap in the local paper got a good photo of us... hopefully have a better copy posted up real soon)

Anyone who's going to the Manji Ag Show this Friday, stop by the pavilion & say hi.... hopefully we'll have some live recordings for ya afterwards ;-)

Here's the schedule for Friday night at the MANJIMUP AG SHOW
