Our singer, Louey, has departed Australia for sunny Greece and a stint in the Greek Army... there'll be some blues in that tale when he gets back no doubt.
He's been ably replaced by Ben Wintle who is doing a great job of nailing the tunes. Great fun to work with- so say we all... and I'm really looking forward to gigging with him!
We've had a great drummer, Justin (Joddy) who recently had appendicitis and has retired down the Valley to take care of himself and the family. Miss you a lot mate!
He's been replaced by Chezza - who is doing a great job picking up the tunes and injecting a BLUE vibe into the rehearsal room. Again - a joy to play with... and the gigs will be FUN!
Welcome guys! If the first rehearsal was anything to go by - this is going to be a GREAT year! And so say we all!
At the first session with the new Cats we nailed:
- Gimme Some Lovin'
- Got My Mojo Workin'
- Voodoo Chile
- Midnight Hour
- Mustang Sally
- Messin' With The Kid
- Killing Floor
- Come On In My Kitchen
- Sweet Home Chicago
- Chain Of Fools
Not a bad days work -
It was GREAT guys - I had a blast - now I gotta start playing catch up - back to the woodshed.
Next weekend we hit a few new tunes as well as revisit these ten -
- Scuttlebuttin
- Flip Flop Fly
- Gaia
- Mungo Blues
- Baby Lee
- Shake Your Moneymaker
- Highway 31
- Help Me
- Who Do You Love
So - looking good and looking forward to it!!!!!
Tomorrow night I knuckle down with the two singers - Lucinda and Ben - to nut out a few new things - Crawling Kingsnake and whatever else takes our fancy...
Watch this space - I won't be so slack in the future!
