The Perch Creek Family Jugband, oh my

What a wonderful night, these guys are absolutely amazing, so so so much fun and totally inspiring, yes even me, who has had no previous instrument inclinations was drawn by the possibility of playing a banjo ukelele, I doubt that this would actually ever happen, my drive wasn't that long lasting, but there was a glimmer, a vision and a thought, pretty lovely for that moment.
Perch Creek were entertainment plus, saws, jugs, washboards were all played in a magnificent manner, there was totally enthusiastic and hot tap dancing on stage and on a table and a variety of other awesome moments.
Interestingly this wasn't the first time I have seen them, I did see them last year at the Dorrigo Bluegrass Festival and they were good but nowhere near as great as they are now, it feels like they have absolutely blossomed since then.  In the last year or so they have moved to Melbourne, toured Europe and played literally oodles of gigs, the result of all this is beautiful. They are raucous, funny, sweet and so delightful. I highly recommend checking out their intensive touring schedule and going to see them, children will also be totally awestruck and inspired by them, what a show.

As the last song was played to a whooping, laughing and delighted crowd, in swept the Samba gang fresh and excited and ready to, uh, dance, instead they swiftly grabbed me, waved to Scott and we headed to a very lovely unit a few doors down. A hysterical, crazy, ultra fun and not that late a night ensued. Riding my bike home through a sleepy darkened town, I marvelled at the wind in my ears, the stars above and of all the beautiful moments that had happened that night.
