Mikey & Casbah Club @ The Riga Music Bar Southend-On-Sea








Well, what can I say. Mikey was brilliant, playing eleven songs and getting fantastic support from the crowd. Mikey was his cheerful, charismatic self and there was great rapport with the audience. Mikey looked lovingly across to Rene during Plasticine. Best song? All of them!!!!
After a very short break, Casbah Club came on stage and gave a blistering set. Having Bruce Watson join them has given an added dimension and they are all very talented and gel well. But the star of Casbah Club is Simon T who is a fantastic front man. Sex Change was electric. My ears are still ringing!!!!
Bloggers there were Marietta (and her Lovely Mum), Charlotte, Ben Reeve and Tom. Apologies to anyone else I've forgotten. One thoughtful touch was Mikey and Rene came in to say hello to us all in the pub next door. Much appreciated.

I still can't work out how to place the photos where I want them.

Moth


Whilst watching In The Attic, Jill called me out to see this Moth. Thought it worthy of a photo. After a quick search on the internet I found this info about it:

The spectacular Emperor moth is Britain's only resident member of the Saturniidae family. It is reasonably common over much of Britain, occupying moorland and open country.The males, which have bright orange hindwings, fly during the daytime in search of the greyer females, which fly at night. Both sexes are on the wing in April and May.The fully grown caterpillar is green with black hoops containing yellow wart-like spots, and feeds on moorland plants such as heather (Calluna) and bramble (Rubus). Wingspa 40-60mm. This is a female.

Bank Holiday Weekend


Well it was a busy weekend what with one thing and another. But managed to catch some bands in the process. Saw Angst perform for the first time in ages and they have just grown, in physical terms as well as musically. A very busy week ahead. I'll leave you with a picture of Nicky on Bass and a short video of Angst taken on my digital camera, hence the poor sound quality. See ya!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSgASVZs2to
