Replay the live stream

Beags Beer Garden is a great venue. Outdoors, chilled, in the heart of the CBD, and with luck we’ll get a couple more outdoor gigs there before the cooler weather takes over.

There is a gig coming up at The Wheaty on Sun April 10 from 4 pm so put that in the diary.

In the meantime here’s a trimmed up version of the last gig which we live-streamed from Beags Beer Garden.

There’s a couple of glitches where the stream couldn’t keep up but if you’re keen to stay up to date with our adventures then you should enjoy this.

See you at the next gig. Cheers!

LIVE STREAM 6:15 pm CDST Friday 4/3/22

Since trying to live stream on FaceBook and having partial success and another attempt that failed completely I’m confident this will work.

If you can’t make it to the gig we’d still love you to be able to tune in – so this is for you.

We’ll kick this off at least 15 minutes before we start around 6:30 pm.

We hope you enjoy the show.

Edit: this is the link to the edited replay (with streaming glitches in spots)

Habit forming? Our next gig is this Friday 4/3/22 at Beags…

We are back at Beags Beer Garden this Friday 4th March from 6:30 pm till 9:00 pm free entry – 63 Light Square Adelaide – the home of parent organisation Light Adelaide, The Lab and Aurora Restaurant

Will we be able to compete with the tsunami of fun that is the opening of the Adelaide Festival and the start of the third week of the Adelaide Fringe or will it be a mere ripple in the fabric of arts-time?

To answer these questions you might need to come along and find out.

Our last gig at Beags was a blast so maybe we won’t disappear in the maelstrom of arts whirling around us… A genuinely positive note is that we predict parking on the West side of the CBD will be relatively easy since most of Adelaide will be flocking to the East end.

We will be an oasis in a sea of insanity.

Come along and see some new renderings of our own original blues songs and some of the classic faves.

We hope we see you there and if we do please bring your friends and make it a great night for all. Cheers

Live At Beags Beer Garden…

Great gig last night at Beags. Thanks to the folk at Light Adelaide, the people who turned out and the beautiful weather.

We did manage to broadcast a bit of the show live on Facebook until it glitched and the sound dropped out.

Here’s a snippet that you can replay – from the start of the first set to the glitch.

Next gig at this stage is April 10 at The Wheatsheaf Hotel, Thebarton – stay tuned for more details.
