July at Petersham Bowling Club
Jul 3, 2013 • Nick Payne
In July, we are playing for the first time at the renowned Petersham Bowling Club in Sydney.
The PBC, as it is locally known, was founded in 1865. While other clubs have closed down, the PBC has surviced by refusing to bring in poker machines and turning to craft beers and live music instead. Over the last few years its gained a quite reputation as a great, community run, venue and we can't wait to grace its stage.
Joining us for the gig are our good friends Mem Davis & The Kindred Spirits who will be clutching copies of their recent released EP If It's Over. Mem and her musical collaborator Luke Collings will be opening for us with their full band.
Whilst our banjo player Richard and our fiddle player Carlyn are away this month (festivals and community work in NT), we'll be welcoming another friend Jolyon Gray to our band on dobro, mandolin and anything else he may pick up. Jo is an amazing, multi-instrumentalist and we can't wait to share the stage with him again. As always, our faithful friend Paul Sun will be smashing out the beats for us on double bass.
Full details are as follows and please share the news, RSVP on Facebook and pre-purchase tickets so we can manage the organisationally stuff well.
