If you can teach me how to lcone myself I promise to go to all of your gigs. I have been to 5 gigs in 7 days so far with another 5 in the next four days, so there. OK I admit I haven't got to Half Bent ones yet, but hey at least I am going to hear Aussie jazz.

So, did anyone get to any Half Bent shows? What did you think? Some tips for next time maybe?

MY HIGHLIGHT: Prrim (Adrian Sherrif, Anita Hustas & Tunji Beier) were absolutely mind blowing! They had the audience in the palm of their hand - and I don't mean the audience was small! Amazing music.

THANK YOU to those of you who came along.

Sorry Gideon and Ronny and all you Half Benters
