A LONG time between drinks

Wow! nearly 18 months since I've been in here and added anything - and a LOT has happened in that time.

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He's been replaced by Chezza - who is doing a great job picking up the tunes and injecting a BLUE vibe into the rehearsal room.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:

  1. Gimme Some Lovin'
  2. Got My Mojo Workin'
  3. Voodoo Chile
  4. Midnight Hour
  5. Mustang Sally
  6. Messin' With The Kid
  7. Killing Floor
  8. Come On In My Kitchen
  9. Sweet Home Chicago
  10. 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 -

  1. Scuttlebuttin
  2. Flip Flop Fly
  3. Gaia
  4. Mungo Blues
  5. Baby Lee
  6. Shake Your Moneymaker
  7. Highway 31
  8. Help Me
  9. 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!
