Real Ale and Music Festival in Braco - report
Konrad had a fantastic gig at the Real Ale and Music Festival in Braco. The audience were brilliant and danced the night away. The response from people really made the might. The comments were great and the energy from the band poured out into the audience.Only one change of shirt for Davy and Gary on drums. Probably all lost half a stone with sweat. No sorry, they guys were sweating, I was glistening. NOT?
The Big Widstock Music Festival 2010
We had a great time playing at the Big Widstock Music Festival on the 31st July. It was a great day with a variety of music. Good day was had by all. Fraser Leggat took the place of Magnus, our bass player. Magnus was away on holiday. Photographs will be on the website very soon. The next gig we are aiming for is the Braco Real Ale and Music Festival.The regular Konrad line-up will be playing from about 9pm - 11pm on Saturday 21st August.The whole day kicks off about 3pm. Watch this space for a video up-date.
Old Arcade
The acoustic version of Konrad played in the Old Arcade, Stirling last Friday night at a celebration of the Old Alhambra Theatre. Davy, Frank and myself did our best to entertain the very appreciative crowd. It was a Variety evening with music from Miniature Dinosaurs performance art, silent movies,and an art exhibition. Its was a busy night and all who were there really enjoyed themselves. Variety is indeed the spice of life.
Ashfield Last Saturday
We had a great gig in Ashfield last Saturday. Everyone had a blast. Konrad were on form. I asked some advice on playing from Bruce, the Sax player with Sourmash Blues Band.When I saw the instruments that he had with him, I have to say I thought, AAAHH !!!. Can I really play in front of him. He's been doing it, amazingly well for years. But I did and he was very complimentary. A good confidence booster.
Its also good that Whistle Binkies in Edinburgh want us to go back in August. Can't wait.
What's coming up ?
On 18th June between 6-8 pm, Konrad have been asked to take part in a multi-arts event in Old Arcade in Stirling. Its the site of the old Alhambra Theatre. Its a celebration with Variety as the theme. Artists, performance art and music. Konrad are doing an acoustic set.More info will follow nearer the time. Come and share the experience with us.
One of the new songs that he was writing is now finished. Its brill. We'll start to rehearse that one next week.
The Konrad Week
Davy has started writing two new songs, which will starting to rehearse them in the next two weeks..
Yet another harmonica put in a glass of water to try and revive it, but didn't work this time. Usually it'll last another gig. But not this time.
Davy also plays regularly with the Bad Boogallo's band . A Rockabilly/Psychobilly band.( don't think that's the right spelling) He plays 100 mph harmonica with them, so he is now on to his second batch of harmonicas this month.Next at Whistle Binkies, Edinburgh on 29th this month.
