Blues for the Winter
Greetings all,
Things have been quiet with the band for Autumn after I managed to tumble down some slippery steps (and no video of it for YouTube sadly). Now we are back in action with lots planned over Winter. Paul Young has taken himself and his tenor sax off to Wellington, and Tosh is now trumpeting in Sydney, so King Leo will be hitting the stage as a lean, mean, 3-piece Blues-playing machine.
First up is a show at the Church on 50 Dundas St. on Saturday, May 28th from 9-midnight (or later if you are still dancing). There is no opener at this show, so come along for 100% King Leo Blues. Admission is $10 at the door.
Next we will be appearing at the Big Fat Solstice Feast, which is a community fundraiser for the Waitati Open Orchards and Waitati Edible Gardeners. The feast is at Waitati Hall on June 18th. More details to come.
We will end June with a Blues blowout: the Valley Blues Ball on June 25th at St. Martin's Hall in the Northeast Valley. King Leo will be joined by Marg Layton, New Zealand's Queen of the Blues, for this show, and we'll have plenty of other special Blues guests appearing. Tickets are available at Twang Town in Dunedin or on the New Edinburgh Folk Club's website at: http://www.nefc.org.nz/calendar.asp?calendarid=5558.
