Duo Report - Excelsior and The 'Bridge

The Duo played last Friday at The Excelsior Hotel (Brompton) and on Saturday at the Hamley Bridge Hotel. Both gigs sounded like they pulled off okay.

I was there before the start at The Excelsior and there were about three dozen in the pub already. Sounds like it didn't drop beneath that in numbers for the whole night, some of the new songs Steve and Nancy introduced sounded like they went down really well. Of particular encouragement to all was the fact that a few old friends of the band dropped by through the evening.

On Saturday night they played out at Hamley Bridge. Again, several dozen through the evening, with pretty boisterous local crowd. Worst thing to happen was that front of house speaker almost got knocked over - need to keep an eye on setting a stage boundary a bit more clearly.

Not sure where or when The Duo play next (though I heard mention of Burra at band rehersal this arvo). I will let you know when I know.
