135 Sundays at the Retreat Abbotsford. One of my favourites this last one. Lizzy on the mic and a quick video channeling Tina Turner. The gigs are getting so good and so much fun. Got a lot messy afterward, ended up at Panacea bar next door with half the Retreat crowd. I need to find a way to calm down after the shows. Seeya Sunday.
Wing Chun masters and all-round beautiful people Sigongs Garry and Linda dropped into the Retreat last Sunday. They loved the pub and it’s unique old-world vibe and community. It was an honour to play for them. I trained for years at their school in Abbotsford (a little while ago). They’re still running their main school at Greensborough www.shaolinjeeshinwingchun.com.au. They gave me an amazing life-changing experience, one that travels with me wherever I go.
Last Sunday was my 130th show at the Retreat. See you Sunday.
My folks had a great time at the Retreat yesterday. Thanks to everybody for making em feel so welcome! (many thanks to Jack for the pics too)
Thanks to Ro, Pru & Max for these shots.
Love this shot from last Sunday at the mighty Retreat in Abbotsford. Captures the cosy atmosphere. The show kicks off at 3:30. It’s a great afternoon, flowing into the early eve. I tend to finish (officially) around 7. But most weeks, a sneaky 4th set happens (usually keep a few bangers up my sleeve – and take some requests). Can be a bit late gettin’ home… This Sunday marks 3 years of my Sunday residency there. Hard to believe I’ve been playing every week in that spot for that long. My absolute favourite day of the week. Thanks to everyone who’s ever come along to make it happen.
Thanks to Retreat regular Shane for the pic!
So great to be back after a couple of weeks off. Seeya Sunday!
Magic moments from yesterday @retreat_abbotsford retreat. Dan Hall jumped in for a couple of sets. So great to see him let loose again. By the end of six sets in total it turned out to be a 9pm finish. I whole-heartedly apologise for any sore heads out there this morning…
Still rolling along on Sundays at the Retreat. Last one was a favourite, Max jumping in for almost a whole set. Lovely crew, the usual community vibe. See you there…
(and thanks to Ro for the shots below!)
So great to be back. Good times last Sunday at the Retreat Abbotsford. Playing under a swooping Millennium Falcon. Sean and Ebs shakin’ it. Craigie on bended knee. Ross Buckingham all the way from the UK. Christian? See you Sunday…
Starting Sundays again today! See you this arvo at the Retreat Abbotsford. Kick off around 3:30. It’ll be a warm one – lookin forward to a cold one or two…
