the village this week

I try to avoid the place as a rule, for no reason other than being a tad anti-social. (it's nab central at the best of times....)
BUT
I was there twice this week, and enjoyed myself thouroughly both times.
Monday was Jose Gonzales. What a beautiful gig. This man has one of those voices that makes you fall in love instantly, so deep and mournful, it was hypnotic.










Then, in absolute contrast, was Stars on tuesday. Canuck rock of the cheesiest variety. The gig was wonderful really! I love the album Heart and was happy to see loads of people agreed with me. The night was all about singing along and trumpet solos. Cool beans.
