A huge hooray to the Warren kids who have been putting posters up in the Blue Mountains for us! I keep getting emails from people who have seen the posters. This is very exciting. I feel like the shoemaker with the elves who make all the shoes for him at night while he's sleeping ... you know that story ... yes, you do ... anyway, thanks guys, that's awesome.
Meanwhile Ryan and I are on the Central Coast, promoting our upcoming gigs. I am fond of telling friends that we are being "hounded by the press". When asked for details I am forced to admit that this only means that a nice lady from the Central Coast Express Advocate rang up and asked politely to interview us, and we politely said yes. It's just that "hounded" is such a great word. Would you believe ... a very small hound? Would you believe ... chihauhaued by the press?
I also did an interview yesterday on ABC Central Coast Radio with Brad Storey, who impressively had researched my entire life on the Internet, and quizzed me on the French legal system. I played Fred the Dog live to air, right before the cricket. :)
There will be more radio interviews next week: one on FBi94.5FM in Sydney on Tuesday 10th after 8:30 with Dave Regos who runs a great folk show "In the Pines", and one at CoastFM963AM up here on the Central Coast on Wednesday 11th about 10:15am.
We've become very fond of the Pearl Beach cafe, who have excellent coffee and breakfast, and wireless Internet. They've become rather fond of us too, and having hung up a poster and put our cds on high rotation, they invited us to make a guest appearance at their "Mamma Mia" night last night. A host of very kind locals gave us a fantastic listening-to before the movie. It's a great movie, if you haven't seen it. Meryl Streep is gold! Here's my take on the evening ... impressionistic, you understand:
Ange Takats sent me some pics from her album launch in Eumundi last week, hooray! Here's me with Ange and Pete Uhlenbruch.
Both these pics are by Sunshine Coast photographer Andrew Seymour.
It's true
