A wee update from Tyron's Viva Las Vegas 2014 experience

So, whilst the band took a break myself (Tyron) headed over to the good ol US of A for a short vacation. And towards the end I managed to take in the craziness of a what is called the VIVA LAS VEGAS ROCKABILLY 2014.  And one stand out act for me and one I have only just found out about recently, was Lucky Tubb & His Modern Day Troubadours.....and yes, you guest it, he is the nephew of the legendary Ernest Tubb....absolutely killer band!  So couldn't resist meeting them. :)

Rockin in the King's Cross - a rum fueled extravangza

It was a nice warm day. I tried to wander around King's Cross and reminisce about older, less 'upstanding' times. But Tyron collared me and made sure I stayed in the relatively safe confines of 'Hotel Street' a little upstairs bar full of of Sailor Jerry memorabilia and his name-sake rum. Hooo daddy, and we were booked for three sets!  Fear not friends: a few years on the road now have have learnt us to 'pace ourselves'. Rest assured the songs are our true indulgence.

We 'did' Europe again

In May and June 2013 we went to Europe for our second trip. We had an excellent time in Germany, Belgium, Holland, Austria and Spain. Some of the shows were magic including a rip-roarer in the little mountain town of Calw in Germany's Black Forest.  This shot was taken in Bruges before playing our host Tom's backyard texas-style saloon back out at the farm.
