Another fun show. Quite loose and informal, beginning with the fact that the show didn't get rolling until well past the announced start time. I knew right then it was going to be a late night!

It was good hearing the musicians tell little songs about their stories, though I'm slightly miffed that Steve and Lebo both tended to leave out giving the song title: I guess I need to work more on my listening skills so as to be sure to catch the title clues as the words go zinging by!

I took detailed notes about who was playing what when, but decided that sort of trivia was better presented in a separate table than crammed into the setlist above, hence the following tables that show that information. And yeah, it probably has a few mistakes! Let me know if you spot something!

How ya gonna do that? Well by watching the videos, of course! Here's set one; I'm guessing that links to the rest of the gig can be found on the Facebook event page, but honestly, I was too lazy to track them down myself!
