SUPER SUNDAY SESSION at The Glengarry Tavern in Duncraig on SUNDAY, 3RD JULY from 1-7 p.m

It’s all falling in to place for yet another great SUPER SUNDAY SESSION at The Glengarry Tavern in Duncraig on SUNDAY, 3RD JULY from 1-7 p.m. This is a great venue and an ideal setting for LIVE music.

89.7 FM is hosting  A WINTER BLUES FUNDRAISER, following on from the success of the one last year, which was almost a sell-out.

All the tables were booked in advance by people wanting to secure their seats and to enjoy their meals.
The Buffet Roast Meal at $19.95 plus Blues Specials and a la carte menu will all be available on the day.
For Table Bookings, contact The Tavern on 9448 5511.
Best get in quick so get your friends organised and book that table !!

Yet again, it will be a stellar line-up of some of the finest musicians that Perth has to offer.
Remember to bring along some extra $$$ to buy the artists’ cds and show your support for local independent music.
***NEWSFLASH !!***  Another band has been added to the line-up.
Just waiting on confirmation of the band’s name before announcing it.

All tickets are $20, with Primary School aged children being given free entry, on the condition that they are fully supervised by their parents/guardians. Money raised will assist 89.7 FM to continue to support local musicians by giving them regular exposure to the general public.
You can get your tickets through me by letting me know how many you need and I’ll arrange to get them to you over the next week or so. Ring me at home on 9409 2876 or via email.

There will be plenty of prizes on offer for the mandatory Raffle.
Tickets will be $2 each, 3 for $5 or 7 for $10, so bring along some extra change and take home a prize.

Time to spread the word !!
Please print off the attached poster and put it up at work or wherever you can find a legal place.
Add it to your email network and on to Facebook, twitter, etc.
Better still, get a group of friends together and come along for a relaxed, fun-filled afternoon of great LIVE music, knowing that your efforts will be helping a good cause in 89.7 FM.

Hope to see you there.

Recording “One Africa”

This produces an awesome kick drum sound

In the studio with “One Africa”. The talent of these guys is just amazing. A quick few hours and we had 3 tracks almost complete. This is what I love about music, people coming together and feeling good!

With the band

Fuller’s Hill Video

Fuller’s Hill is an original instrumental played on ukulele by Mike de Velta. The title is dedicated to Blind Boy Fuller who inspired me to use an alternating picking technique and apply it to the uke in an unconventional way.
I recorded it with an Sm57 through a Great River Preamp and a Daking FETII Compressor. Sound was processed with Pro tools.
