Perth TDPRI get together!

simonc · January 31st, 2006, 08:46 AM

Hi guys, after a few PM's I think its safe to say that we are having a get together for a few drinks at the Mustang Bar on a Sunday!
John, if you let us know what time your set starts, we can maybe all get there bout 1/2 hr beforehand?Dunno, im pretty easy when it comes to organising this...So I'll throw it open for somebody to suggest a date.

Anybody else that I havent contacted about this that'll be here is of course welcome to come!

cheers lads
Simon.

I'll bring Free T-Shirts for everyone... that is I'll order them as soon as I get the tickets.

See you soon!
G'day

Joe-Bob · January 31st, 2006, 02:01 PM

Make that a pair of tickets, please. It'll be great to be back in Perth again. :D

Scotland · January 31st, 2006, 03:18 PM

Searched all over Perth for that bar, where is it ? Is it on the Dundee side or the Edinburgh side ?

Seanycaster · January 31st, 2006, 05:01 PM

simonc · January 31st, 2006, 09:28 PM

I knew it would only be a matter of time before you scots made a joke bout that :D

We just need a Satellite link up, So ALL Perth Tdp'ers can get together :)

Cobra8272 · February 1st, 2006, 10:53 AM

you'll know when you are in the right Perth - the sun will actually be shining in a clear blue sky and someone will be saying "g'day mate".
many miles away from sauchiehall st.

Well, I was in Perth today, the sun was shining and it was a clear blue sky and the temp. was -8C !!!
No barbies in this Perth yet.

Seanycaster · February 1st, 2006, 07:06 PM

I haven't been in our Perth since November but it was bright and sunny with clear blue skies that day too. Besides the temperature its not that different from your faux Perth.

tjalla · February 3rd, 2006, 01:55 AM

I'm gigging all day in Mandurah this Sun, but Feb 12th is good for me to drop by the Mustang. Anyone else?

Sidenote (and not meaning to hijack the meeting place

) but I'm playing at Clancy's Freo on Cantonment St tmr night -Sat 4th - with my blues/swing hammond trio. I mentioned it to simonc, so anyone else feel free to drop by too. We start at 9, go till midnight.

I'm bringing '67 ES-330 and my "strat-esquire" mongrel with a Fred Stuart Blackguard, and my trusty Tone King Comet 40B. Yeah baby...

Trev

simonc · February 3rd, 2006, 02:02 AM

yeah Trev, Im there for sure...been ages since Ive been to clancys.

Feb 12 is A-ok by me for the mustang as well.

tjalla · February 3rd, 2006, 03:20 AM

Cobra8272 · February 6th, 2006, 11:36 AM

Trev

john s · February 7th, 2006, 07:26 AM

Hey Guys......Problem with you jumping the stage is that if our singer (Peter Busher) hears how good you are, I will end up in the dole queue !!!!! How much will it cost me to keep you at the bar?????
See ya later...John.

simonc · February 7th, 2006, 07:53 AM

Thanks for puttin on a great show for us John, you are a top picker imo, really tastefull...& those faux steel licks are tasty!

john s · February 13th, 2006, 07:02 AM

Hi Simon,
It was great to catch up with you and Trev last night. You were both very brave to stick it to the end!!!!! hope your ears didn't bleed too much!!
Looking forward to seeing both of you again at one of Trev's gigs.
John.

tjalla · February 15th, 2006, 11:20 PM

Like simon mentioned, on a couple tunes I forgot there *wasn't* a pedal steel onstage! Nice tasty work with the B-Bender. Awesome tone man, them Twang Kings (they can never go wrong, esp that neck PU) and a Twin with a 15"... yea baby.

The front of house did get bumped up towards the end, but it was always enjoyable... esp for the whole dancefloor. You guys got em shakin alright...

Will get my dad down there sometime too, he'd like you guys! That's the plan, the plan...

Cheers,
Trev

john s · February 16th, 2006, 08:26 AM

Hey..Rick!!..er...sorry Trev, Like to see your Dad at the gig...the plan!!
