A Live Concert CD

Recorded live at the Wellington Bluegrass Society’s venue in Petone on 9th June 2019. This was our last gig in NZ with Nils Olsen, before we waved him off to Germany. It was also the same week that the WBS’s president Andrew Bicknell was awarded the QSM, so there was much gaity and celebration. Ross McDermott recorded the concert, Costa Botes filmed it; the result is this CD and a DVD; both entitled ‘A Live Concert’. Repertoire is all Andrew London originals, some resurrected from Hot Club Sandwich and Cattlestops days (Appliances, Wallpaper, Emily Bay) and some brand new and previously unrecorded (Alfonso, Palace of Dreams). Twelve tracks – much amusement. Click on the songs highlighted to see video!
