| Easton ~ Maverick 2008 ~ Felixstowe |
mo 6 jl 09 | 
Yesterday at the last day of the Maverick Festival in Easton the Young Zulu Warriors Gospel Choir received a startlingly fulsome welcome as they got on stage by walking through the audience singing and trilling in that great African way. Maverick this year was again a wonderful, incredibly easy going affair that MUST happen again and let's hope that next year Suffolk Coastal doesn't require the half dozen security (and a dog!), they are totally inappropriate, the only faux pas we saw was Brigitte DeMeyer asking the little girl in the front row whether she was four when in fact she's five. The little girl was so annoyed she refused to clap ... or it might have been embarrassment. More pix here. |

 At Maverick yesterday Al Perkins got a knocked down by a double decker driving sound from his Telecaster, the Haley Sisters did a Kate Rusby (beautiful voices/northern accents) in a roasting hot Tack Room, Brigitte DeMeyer was just brilliant B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T and everybody's favourite drummer Brady Blade could make good vibeing an Olympic event.

 At the first night of Maverick we got to see cowboy hats, American Drew Nelson enjoyably doing an American moody minor key thing whilst not wearing shoes, Tasmanian Ange Boxall looking like a slimmer Xena in that headband and with a tasty band, and Two Fingers of Firewater who have got more confident, a bit rockier and bit showbizier (nothing wrong with that, two people playing one guitar and the brief appearance  of a trombone) since last year. Decent beers, musical instrument stall and an easy atmosphere mean we can't wait for tomorrow when hopefully we can get a signal from Orange to update Twitter. More pix here and discuss Maverick here.

| mo 30 mr 09 |  Admittedly more than a bit of a ways off but Cajun quartet The Magnolia Sisters are playing Norwich Arts Centre 15 July. This year Maverick in Easton is the first weekend in July so maybe they'll still be round for that?
