Recently, Nancy and I went to the Old Manly Boatshed to catch the last bit of a Jeff Duff gig. I mentioned to Nancy that I'd love to see Jeff in front of a big band again, as that night he just had keys, bass, drums, and sax. And what do you know? Nancy called me the following day to say that Jeff was playing an upcoming gig at the Basement with the Ed Wilson Big Band. Wow.

So Nancy booked some tickets, but unfortunately for her, she had to go to Melbourne over the weekend, and I ended up going last night with John and Helene.

It was a wonderful night. Jeff was on form, and Emma Pask was singing as well. And the band was tight. The only problem was that I had to get an expensive cab home, as the ferries had stopped. Can't win them all.

Went and saw Steve Edmonds at the Steyne Hotel last night. Awesome gig. Lots of people there too, including Mark and Donna, Nancy, Dan, Pete, and Dave.
