2nd Vully Blues Festival

Two concerts to announce:

On October 1st we play at the Hotel-Restaurant Mont-Vully (Route du Mont 50, 1789 Lugnorre) for the third time. The concert starts at more or less 19h30 and their food so far has been quite nice. Two reasons to come!

Funny how different concerts...

Funny how different concerts can have such different atmospheres…

11 day ago we played in Neuchâtel at the port, with the lake right behind us and the occasional boat blaring its horn. I got there early (17h00) hoping to have more time to get the sound adjusted.

Ragged 'n Dirty Too

Yesterday, while we were setting up, warming up, getting the balance right, that sort of thing, Dave started playing this “new” tune…

That said, it went ok and I believe that there where even some nice moments. However we are still pretty very uneven in my opinion, jumping from the best to the worst with a tip of the thumb…
