Last chance to see Benji's trio tonight in Twickenham.

We really thought there'd have been more interest in this one but very few advance tickets sold so far. :-(

That's disappointing, he had a good turn-out at Ely. Great show.

Not too bad a turnout in the end...fifty odd.

A great gig too, comprising mainly songs from the 'Boomerang' album....they're hoping to do another run of dates at some point. Considering Cormac and Sam had only met each other at the first rehearsal last Tuesday the three of them formed a VERY tight rhythmic unit indeed.

The encore was that old folk chestnut 'Voodoo Chile' (learnt from the singing of Jimi Hendrix)
