There was food, wine and music - and Maria made a splendid dessert again
Soirée in Croydon
11.10.15 -
It was a purely social occasion as it happens, but perhaps it's something I could consider in future - just me and a guitar (electric or acoustic). Anyway, It was a steamy Saturday night in downtown Croydon and there was thunder and lightning and a BBQ. Chris Kay invited me to try out his Cube amp in my quest for something less heavy than the Hot Rod and I sang a couple of tunes. That's all.
 
     
 

1) M&M put on a brave face at the Wings & Wheels dinner 2) Dame Nellie Melba's music stand cum lectern
A night out at Coombe Yarra Valley
10.10.15 -
This weekend was supposed to be the inaugural Wings & Wheels show at Lilydale airport in support of a number of charities including Alkira (Box Hill) where my son Chris attends. Last minute hitches meant that the actual Wings & Wheels show was postponed until 2016 but the fundraising dinner at Coombe Yarra Valley (you know, the Melba Estate with the massive macracarpa hedges at Coldstream and where the ghost of Dame Nellie serenades you when you visit the toilets), slotted for last night went ahead nevertheless. Quite a number of the supporting charities were in attendance and there was entertainment, auctions and raffles as well as the two course meal including Coombe Farm wines. It was quite a night.
