Shantalla drinking tea!
So, here we are: the first rehearsal as a 6-piece. Fantastic!
Unfortunately, we only had tea because member number 7 drank all the wine. Yes! Mr Happee was there. Drunk as usual. In the end, he passed out over his tea…

Some of us were out and about playing music last weekend and we ended up back at Joe’s new house entertaining his friends and neighbours. If they didn’t know that Joe was a muzo, they certainly know now!!!
