Hi All -

Attended an excellent Concert last night featuring Eric Bogle and his sidekick, John Munro ...   Small hall, sparsely attended, unfortunately - certainly not a reflection on their talent or presence, but it made for a nice intimate show...

The two sets featured some of his classics ('Band Played Waltzing Matilda', 'No Man's Land') and many songs from his most recent CD release, 'The Colour of Dreams'... Some very powerful lyric content (a Bogle trademark) and a few biting satirical tunes kept the edge sharp and well-balanced...

This was the first time I had heard the Music of John Munro - most impressive - excellent guitar work and mando licks as well.   His vocal harmonies blended nicely with Eric's solid melody line - you could tell this wasn't the first time they'd performed together... spot-on timing in some tricky musical passages.

Eric Bogle kept a solid running commentary between numbers; humorous anecdotes and witty asides had us all in stitches and lightened the tone from some of his more serious tunes...

They're off to the Boston, MA area tonight, I think - any 'Catters (or anyone else) should make a point of catching this act as the tour winds down... He'll be heading North to Canada before swinging through Texas and finishing up in New Orleans... Great stuff !
