Hello there, welcome to another W!LD blog!

Here's what we've been up to since I last wrote, (though I'm not including Thursday and Friday because A: for your sake, I don't want this post will go on all night, and B: aside from a practice gig in front of extended family, which quite amusing, music wise those days were a little dull.)  

On Saturday we played two acoustic gigs on Sherkin Island, which was a nice adventure, and certainly the first time we've ever had to go put our equipment on a ferry, to get to a gig.
I haven't been to the island for years, so it was cool to have such an excellent excuse to visit. 

The event we were playing at was a little Sherkin Island festival, complete with campers, portaloos, a dash of rain, and plenty of plastic beer glasses.
We were only actually billed to play once, but because the festival drum kit was a little late arriving,* and because W!LD had been the ones to nobly open the festival, in front of an kindly, but not numerous audience, the organisers bravely slotted us in for a second performance later on.
Also were just Greedy!

I'd say the most interesting part of our performance, was probably when perry took everyone inside the jolly roger, (the festival Marquee was attached to the Jolly Roger pup,) and played 'Annie' on an acoustic piano, standing up and dancing about for extra impact.
 
By the way in case you're wondering why, as a reader of the official W!LD blog, you haven't heard mention of this gig before now, it's because it was supposed to be a secret... Might even still be a secret actually, shhhhhhhhh.

Our aunt and cousins have been staying with us for the first time in ages, so on Sunday, in celebration, we broke off from the music for a bit, and had a tea party instead.
Monday we were back at it again though, as we had Aron, ( I don't know his second name,) over to play some guitar solo's and have a little jam, then yesterday, I spent a bit of time trying to finish a few pesky little songs that have been bugging me for ages, and also playing yet more 'In the Beginning There Was Funk'.
Perry's Been away palying Drums in Inishshannon.

And that's just about it for now.
Back soon,

*I heard from the snare drum, who had been driving, that the kit had been stuck behind a particularly long line of tambourines, on the way to belly dancing convention.
