Summer is here for us in the UK at last and the warmth and sun have done much to cheer things up in the real world. It is also a quite busy time for Sunwolf and I, so much so that I wish I had an RL alt ( for those who may not know, an alt is another avatar you can use if you wish to split your activities.) Anyway as this is not possible in RL some scaling down of activities is becoming necessary and it may be that I will be writing here a little less frequently. I am not sure about this yet but it is looking likely. However let me get to this weeks happenings for Wolf n Hawk both the duo and the pub.
Monday, saw Sunwolf and I at a new venue Called The Crown and Anchor and owned and Run by Anna and our dear friend and fellow musician Ronnie Mayes. The pub wasn't officially opening till Friday,but we had been invited to go over so they could have a test run. All was in order and we stayed around until we had to get to Southbound for our regular show there.
After our set at Southbound we then went over to another club I had not been to before called ,The Cavern Club, where Ronnie Mayes did a really stunning set. As I have mentioned in a previous blog, I am a Philistine who does not, nor ever did like The Beatles, but Ronnie's set was all Beatles numbers and I just loved the way he did them, so much better than the originals, well to my mind anyway. We stayed at the Cavern to listen to Seamore Wildheart, who is part owner of the club, another good set. The place is a replica of the real club in Liverpool and I must admit I did like the atmosphere there.
Tuesday, saw Wolf n Hawk playing another regular show for The Drunken Drow, as I have said before, we really do enjoy playing here and last week the audience numbers were better this always makes me feel good for the venue.
Cailidgh Spires followed us with her particular crazy banter and wonderful songs and then it was time to go back to RL and the ever present chores that always await our return.
Wednesday, we were hosting at our pub, Ye OLde Wolf n Hawk and it was a great evening ( well for us it is evening in RL).
Ronnie Mayes did and absolutely blistering set, you really missed out if you were not there.
Gweeb followed, and he gave us a great performance enhanced by his mad cap antics and comments.
Last on the bill that day was our Lovable Lion Ringo and again it was a great show.
Thursday we did not log on, there was just too many other things claiming our time and I don't mind that really as I think it is healthy to take a break and live in the real world for a time.
Friday, we were back at Guthries, a place we so love to perform in. We were followed by Moses then Lazarus Doghouse, but then instead of Quinton Whitman, who was away having been doing a show in RL at the real Guthries centre, Jed Tharnaby played a set. All in all, it was a great time.
Later that day we went back to the Crown and Anchor for the official opening and were honoured to follow Gweeb and play a set here. We then had to fly as we were hosting our own place literally within the next hour.
Mash Rhodes opened for us and wow, he was on fire, such a brilliant set.
Bronze2080 took the stage next, he had not played at the pub before and was standing in for Cailidgh Spires who is away on holiday. Again it was a really great set and we decided to offer him some regular shows.
Saturday, Wolf n Hawk opened at the pub hosted by our lovely hostess Blackdwarfbud. For once there was a reasonably sized audience. It's odd the way things work out. We were just thinking of pulling out of the Saturday slots and then things begin to pick up, so this decision will be shelved, for the near future anyway.
The wonderfull Stephen Sixpence
Stephen Sixpence finished our shows for Saturday. He has a unique sound and seemed to play all my old favourite songs. A lovely way to wind up our SL time.
Musically it was a very good if busy week with lots of old favourites and lots of exciting new experiences, what more could anyone want except perhaps more time, but that is where I came in so I will finish here.
Wishing you all that is good and positive
love n hugs n stuff.
