Gig guide

Hi all,

Time is such a thing these days and keeping up with where the good stuff is happening is left out of the eqation more than I'd like. Limpin' Jimmie and the Swingin' Kitten are a couple of wonderful dancers and music-obsessed people (like many of us) who, fortunately, are able to squeeze some time out of their busy personal shedules to keep us well informed with their weekly newsletter and web site which has the newsletter posted each week about Thursday or Friday. Almost every gig having to do with swing, rockabilly, country and associated styles is listed and commented upon in their weekly run-down and if it's not there, it's probably not worth going to. Cut and paste the link below, pull up the newsletter and then ask them to add you to their mailing list . You won't regret it. The link to their site on the right of this page is probably dead by now so just do as I say and bookmark the link below. Now!!

Having said how good and exhaustive their guide is, it seems a gig (with which I have an interest) has slipped by their radar. It's the Stones v. The Beatles show at the Annandale Hotel this coming Sunday (March 28) from 6 pm. Brought to you by the same mob who have stunned the music world of the Inner West with their Dylan, Elvis, Johnny Cash and Country Classic shows, this concert is poised to exceed even those shows with the likes of Christa Hughes (Machine Gun Fellatio), Ian Rilen (X, Rose Tattoo), John Kennedy, Andy Travers (Andy 500), Cathy Wearne, Linda Janssen, Frank Bennett, Tony Hughes (King Tide) and Fifty Million Beers' own frontman, Charlie MacLean, doing the MC-ing and no doubt adding his vocals to a song or three. The band is made up of members of the Beers, the Slim Dusty Band, The Sports and others and is sure to be hot stuff. It's $15 at the door. Pre-book if you prefer on (02) 9550 1078. I believe there's already been a lot of interest in the show and it MAY be advisable to pre-book through the Annandale if you really want to make sure of getting in - the Elvis show was a sell-out and many were disappointed little punters waiting outside. Hope to see you there.

Ray.
