What a wet old weekend for a Jazz Festival. I sang at two very different events on Saturday – both on the Curtain Call Lawn stage. The first was a duet in the Open Mike, which I sang with Mik de Vecchio. Must have known it would be chilly …we sang  Frank Loesser’s “Baby It’s Cold Outside”. George Washingmachine did a great job as MC, keeeping things relaxed and amused despite some technical hiccups and cool weather. By by the end of the gig all the ‘contestants’ were all eagerly swapping phone numbers and Tess the lovely stage co-ordinator was even being offered group hugs by the John Redmond trio.

Immediately following was Charlie MacMahon’s Jazz Walkabout, for which I was a guest singer. Charlie has a song about his Didgeribone and I wrote some lyrics to sing with it. Smiles from the audience told me that “Slide The Bone” was a catchy title! (Charlie’s innuendo, not mine, although I can’t say I wasn’t smiling when I sang it).
