Ok, so there;s not going to be anything riveting to read here... although it's been a while since checking in... not a lot has happened. The weekend before Easter, husband and I went to the West coast blues and roots festival which was held in Fremantle, over 2 days. We managed to go for the 2 days, and in this time, we managed to see some fantastic artists.... hear some great music, and rediscover how much we enjoy each other's company, especially without the kids. the funny thing was, with 20 000 people there, we managed to bump into everyone we knew that was there, and the first thing they all asked us was where was Wonderboy... he's not here, we replied.... Yeah right, they said,.... where is he? No, he;s not here... we're actually here just the two of us together... Naaah.... he;s here somewhere... you wouldn' t come to something like this and not bring him.... Parents of the year award part one...unbelievable...

so anyway... so many wonderful acts.... the highlights being Tony Joe White... he was so good... a lot of great Aussie acts... the Saturday highlight for us was Gomez by far.... finally got to see them... John Butler was great too... the highlight of Sunday, was that on Saturday, we found out that Gomez were doing a closed set, and to be there, you had to get therer early and register as there was only 150 people allowed in. We got there early, and got in. It was  indescribable. Really.... they were just so good, they played a set for just over anhour, then came out and sat on the stage to answer questions from the crowd... I managed to conquer my crowd phobia, to get down the front...got some great pictures... It was such a great experience... what a great band. Of course... I also got to see my John Mayer.... and I must admit, he was a tad disappointing... only from the fact that he did all of his schmaltzy stuff... and no bluesy stuff. You can only take so much, body is a wonderland.... I was just wanting him to cut sick and do some of his Trio stuff....he tried to cut sick in Gravity, but he never really let himself go. I think everyone was just trying to get a peek at the girly he;s sleeping with at the moment... yes Jessica was there, allegedly dressed in not much,,,, and, let me tell you, it was bloody freezing by about 3pm. I layered up clothes wise.... husband was calling me Captain Sensible... as I had everything from headache tablets, to wet ones, and kleenex, eyedrops.... you name it, I had it packed... but at least I wasn't cold when all of these girlies were walking around shivering in their 4 inches of material that they chose to wear. I did manage to take about 70 photos of him, mostly from the big screen, but what i;ve done, is made a collage of all of his guitars he used. It turned out very nice I must say.... I should pull my finger out, and put a few more pics up here. I haven't done that for ages..

So, now we are back to school holidays.... oh joy.... the kids are already bored, and mortified that I actually want to go and see the Turtles movie....he does, she doesn't... she loses....

Oh, another highlight of the blues fest, was Robben Ford. My God, he was awesome.... can that boy play.... Bo Diddley was there too, as was Eric Burdon, Eugene Hideaway Bridges..(who actually played in our living room one night.. a friend brought him to band night.... we alll nearly died..)It was such a great weekend.

So campers, that is the update for the moment... I hope this finds you all well and happy... take care and stay safe....

love Kells xxxx
