Life at Spriggan towers has been hectic. We are busy recording material for the album and on Saturday took part in Rockstar and mini minx's school Talent night which we helped to organise .
It was a great show.........no seriously it was ..some parents have said it was the best activity the school PTA have done and there were some real talented acts on . Spriggan Mist together with Rockstar were the house band accompanying "The Von trapps" a very talented family of singers on a couple of numbers (more about them later.) We were the last act before the finale . It was a good testing ground to see how Spriggan Mist would go down live be it that the audience did not get the full extent of Wifey's song writing and performing prowess .As most of you know the two Tunes we played "Echoes of Beltane" and "The Merry Mead" Wifey plays about four instruments on each and we were stripped down to drums ,Banjo and bass. Nonetheless Rockstar our 7 year old dynamo on drums was great and although we went out a bit on Merry Mead he pulled it back as fast as we lost it . We had them all with hands in the air and stomping their feet . I ramped up the bass a bit just to give it a bit of Tempo. We played whilst everyone got off the stage for the finale with an instrumental Kultural Karma with rockstar really banging out some fills. I'll await the DVD of the events to see how it sounded as I'm not sure the volumes were right but it served it's purpose and people seemed to enjoy it..................................Spriggan Mist ...live for the first time.!!!!!
The Von traps are Mum and two daughters aged 11 and 15 They all very talented but middle Von Trap is going to record Kultural Karma with us. It should sound brilliant her voice is very strong and beyond her years. More when this is recorded.
After months of office arguments I have posted a new poll there down on the right. Mr T supports Leeds Utd...yeah they are some club languishing in League 1 (div 3 in old money) i support the mighty Pompey...yes the current FA Cup champions and Premier league Club...playing in Europe this season three England Internationals in the team etc...etc...etc...
T reckons Leeds are a bigger club.....I say No ...............so it is down to you good people to settle the argument vote away....
Yes it was indeed a very good show, well presented and very entertaining. I went expecting to be a little bored at times but I was not.
