Jabez and the Towler

G'day and welcome to the latest instalment of the life of JoyCopter. We had a couple of very different gigs during the past week.

The first was a Two-city Records showcase at Jabez Claggs , along with another couple of bands. The crowd was small but appreciative - although we had ahem.....quite a few challenges with the onstage sound. That being said - its always a pleasure to work with the father/son team at Two-City.

The second was show at the Hark To Towler, near Bury. A fantastic show with a very appreciative audience, and an excellent sound man. The Towler isn't the biggest venue in the world but it has real soul - and there's an excellent Italian restaurant just down the road - what more could a band ask for ? ! It was our first opportunity to play two full 45 min sets and it felt fantastic. Now we know why people talk about the Towler vibe with a smile on their faces. Here's to the next gig there!

In other news - Steve is also proud to announce the arrival of his latest new baby - a Parker Fly Mojo - which apparently cuts the mustard for Keith Richards and SRV impressions (er - isn't that blues?).

More gig dates to follow shortly - watch this space
