It's been a while!


Been difficult keeping up with this blog thing over the last month. New material to finish, gigs to play, life to live. The list goes on. May contained a couple of personal highlights. The Sradfest weekend in Gairloch was a hoot from start to finish. The Friday gig was good, the Saturday jam session with members of the Dave Amos Band was inspirational, the staff in the Millcroft Hotel showed great hospitality and our friend Charlie who provided and drove transport to and from Gairloch all served to make to a weekend to remember.

The following weekend saw us make our first appearance at MAMAS in their new premises in Crieff. Following this gig the Perthshire Advertiser published an excellent review with many quotable comments such as

  • "a pleasure to watch a band who obviously enjoy what they do and do it well"
  • "huge range of musical moods and styles"
  • "well crafted lyrics"
  • "combination of musicianship and banter to leave everyone going home happy".

Thanks to reviewer Norman Gray for these kind and encouraging words.

June sees us playing in the Moulin Village Hall, by Pitlochry on Saturday 3 June with doors open at 8.00pm. Full details can be accessed on www.myspace.com/wangdangdelta .

We will also make a guest appearance at the annual Scribblers Picnic in Stirling on Sunday 18 June. It's a family based charity event which is run annually and details can be accessed http://www.scribblerspicnic.com/mambo/
